The ERAA track club stayed on track (pun intended) turning out great performances by the athletes competing in the AAU National Qualifier track and field competition on the 3rd and 4th of July. The meet hosted athletes from around the MN region and surrounding states of WI, IA, and NE.

The track proved to be blazing fast with many meet records being set. Not to be outdone ERAA Athletes set off their fair share of fireworks. Aiden Kilibarda (7) added to his record setting performance from last week with another record performance in the 800m run (2:57). Alex Tittle (12) catapulted the shotput to a meet record distance of 30 feet and claimed a gold medal. Sprinter/Jumper Kjetil Cline (12) sprung 4’6” in the high jump and leapt 15’4” in the Long jump to claim two meet record performances of his own. Cline also won the 100M with a time of 13.3sec. Finally Jonathan Web (14) dashed to a meet record and gold medal in the 200m with a time of 24.9sec.

ERAA Track hosts successful meet at the "Raptors Nest"

 

In only its second year, the East Ridge Athletic Association Track and Field (ERAA T&F) program continues to achieve firsts. After an initial kick off track meet in St Louis Park on May 16th, ERAAT&F hosted its first home competition at the East Ridge High School Facility, the Raptors Nest. The athletes did not disappoint in their performances in defending their home turf. Many athletes racked up National Youth Ranking top one hundred finishes in their various age groups.
                Athlete Augie Ollrich turned in two top 100 finishes in the 1500m and the High Jump with performances of 4:58 (54th) and 5’2” (22nd) respectively. He was joined by Andrew Larson who turned in a discus throw of 77’ which ranks him in the top 20 in the nation at 17th at this time.
                Other top 100 marks came from Connor Mohs in the discus, Jonathan Webb and Kjetil Cline in the Long Jump, and two of the youngest members of the team, Alissa Campbell and Aiden Kilibarda in the 100m and 800m respectively.
                Coach Keita Cline notes “all the kids performed very well. There was not one that did not give 100%. I don’t know that any of them know how to less than that. I was as proud all the other kids as much as their parents.”
                After two regular early season meets were cancelled, the coaches and parents pulled together to fill the gap by hosting this track and field competition. Over two hundred kids from across the cities and Woodbury participated in the competition and everyone involved considered it a successful event.
