YME boys earn ‘wild card’ for True Team
The Yellow Medicine East boys track team found out Saturday that it was headed to the Class A State True Team track and field meet this week in Stillwater.
The Sting are making their third straight trip to the Class A meet, which begins at 10 a.m. Saturday in Stillwater.
YME qualified for state after the Minnesota High School Track Coaches Association held a paper meet to see which “wild card” team would qualify for the meet. Every second-place team from each section meet in Class A, AA and AAA were put into a paper meet with their top times put up against one another. YME, which took second at the Section 5A True Team meet in Paynesville Thursday, finished with 321 points in the paper meet. YME edged out Marshall County Central, which took second in Section 8A. Marshall County finished with 316 points in the paper meet.
