MERRILL – The Marshfield girls track team placed second in the rain-shortened Otto Bacher Invitational on Friday at Merrill High School.

The meet was cut short due to a thunderstorm with the boys and girls 3,200 run and 1,600 relay and the girls pole vault incomplete.

Lakeland won the girls team title with 85 points, five more than Marshfield. The Marshfield boys did not compete in the meet. Marshfield had two second-place and six third-place finishes.

Taking second for the Tigers were Meg Bryan in the triple jump (33 feet, 11 inches) and Alexa Aumann in the 800 (2:27.52).

Individuals taking third for Marshfield were Amy Martorano in the discus (103-0), Katie Osinski in the shot put (33-4), Courtney Brown in the 400 (1:01.99), and Maddie Nikolai in the 300 hurdles (50.20).

Also taking third for the Tigers were the 800 relay team of Angelina Dunomes, Aumann, Mariah Goeppinger and Nikolai (1:51.46) and the 400 relay team of Brooke McGrath, Dunomes, Goeppinger and Bryan (52.26).

Marshfield has a week off before competing in the Wisconsin Dells Invitational on May 13.
