Track & Field

      The State Track Meet is over for the Class "A" participants and the Aitkin Gobblers should be pretty pleased with their efforts. Brita Westman didn't make the finals in the 100m hurdles, but Isaiah Baker and Ashley Asmus brought home medals in two of the three events they were entered. Baker won the silver medal, 2nd place in the triple jump Tuesday and Ashley Asmus finished 6th in the 800m run Wednesday after leading after 400m in a time of 1:08.526. Ashley talked about the race today, "It was tough weaving between people as I ran. The competition was so close, and it was such a great race. All the girls I ran against were so sweet and such great athletes which made it an incredible experience." Baker was also in the high jump but didn't medal in that event. Baker and Asmus will both return in 2026. Check the photos below, there are some beauties taken by Lex Hills.
