WACONIA — The Marshall girls track and field team competed in the Section 2AA meet on Wednesday, placing 10th as a team with a score of 28 points. Shakopee took first with a team score of 92, followed by Waconia in second (69) and New Prague in third (60).

One relay team and one individual qualified for the state meet next week. The 4×800 meter relay team of Bellamy Sukalski, Taleigha Bigler, Allyson Sample and Miracle Tucker placed second with a time of 9:42.85 while Danya Estrada placed second in the 400 meters with a time of 59.49 seconds and second in the triple jump with a leap of 34-07 to punch her ticket to state in both events.

Marshall girls coach Marie Sample said felt they did a good job of staying poised as a young team against challenging teams.

“We have a young team and didn’t have a lot of older kids go out for track this year, so we were kind of starting fresh,” coach Sample said. “These kids haven’t been around this level of competition, but I thought they did really well and stayed poised. Some of them had never competed at the high school level before and I think they had fun and learned a lot and they did the best they could.”
