Houghton took the boys title, and Lake Linden-Hubbell won girls honors at the Houghton County Track and Field Meet yesterday. The meet took place at the Lake Linden track, because its scheduled home, Agassiz Field, hasn’t yet dried out from the long winter.
On the boys side, Calumet came in second, followed by Lake Linden-Hubbell, Hancock, Chassell, Dollar Bay-Tamarack City and Jeffers. The Gremlins prevailed despite missing their senior class members, who were away on an academic trip. Only one competitor notched multiple victories – Calumet’s Cooper Twardzik won the discus throw and the shot put. Houghton’s Nathan Erva won the 110-meter hurdles, and finished second in the 300-meter hurdles. See full results from the boys meet here.
