Area athletes medal at Norfolk Classic

NORFOLK - Windy conditions in Norfolk on Thursday did not stop Hartington athletes from having strong performances at the 92nd annual Norfolk Track Classic. Cedar Catholic and Hartington-Newcastle both sent athletes down to the longest running track event in Nebraska, and some athletes even came home with first place finishes.

Sara Reifenrath shattered the Cedar Catholic 200 meter dash record that was set in 2014 by Alli Walter with a time of 26.2. Reifenrath ran a 25.44 to set a new record, and she said she knew she ran a good time. She had been flirting close to the record all season, but said she wasn’t sure if she broke it in Norfolk.
