MARATHON — The Spencer girls won the team title, and the Rockets, Marshfield Columbus Catholic, and Auburndale combined for 56 sectional qualifiers at the WIAA Division 3 track and field regional at Marathon High School on Tuesday.

Spencer had three relays and eight girls combine for 11 top-four finishes on its way to the team title with 127 points, just one point ahead of Marathon. Auburndale was third with 120 and Columbus Catholic fifth with 61.

Rachel Zastrow won both the 100 hurdles (16.56 seconds) and 300 hurdles (48.29); Nadia King won the 400 (1:03.87); and the 400 realy team of King, Paige Lawrence, Zastrow, and Liz Endreas won in 4:25.50 for Spencer.

King also placed second in the 1,600 (5:41.37).

Alexandra Hutchison won a pair of events for Columbus Catholic. She won the 100 (12.65) and 200 (25.25).

The Auburndale girls had three first-place finishes. Sam Jensen won the triple jump (31-6.75); Kali Karl took first in the 800 (2:30.53); and the 3,200 relay team of Abby Bauer, Hannah Dorshorst, Katie Leick, and Karl won in 10:35.89.

Marathon rolled to the team title on the boys side, racking up more than twice as many points as second-place Loyal. Columbus Catholic was third, and Spencer and Auburndale tied for fourth.

Noah Zastrow won the pole vault with a height of 13 feet for Spencer’s lone victory.

Columbus Catholic also had one victory. The 3,200 relay team of Ben Behling, Leonard Steinert, Peyton Nystrom, and Christian Payant won with a time of 8:40.04.

Auburndale’s Lee Jepsen won two events, taking first in the 100 (11.29) and 200 (23.33).

The top four finishers in each event move on to the WIAA Division 3 sectional on Friday at Rosholt. The top four at the sectional qualify for the 2015 WIAA State Track & Field Champions on June 5-6.
