(Audubon) One last chance for the Audubon track team to compete before the Drake Relays comes on Thursday.
The Wheelers have been added to the meet lineup at Griswold. Boys head coach Monte Riebhoff says Gavin Smith will be looking to solidify a spot on the 400 Lows and 110 Highs. “He’s setting at 32 right on the bubble for the highs. He’s run a 15.4 and I told him if he’d run a 15.2 he’d probably be safe. In the 400 Lows he’s sitting at 12th and they take 16.”
Smith has been a key senior leader for Audubon this season. Another one has been newcomer Carter Andreasen. “He’s been a pleasant surprise this year for us. He hasn’t been out since his eighth great year. He’s always golfed and I asked him this year if he was interested in coming out for track. He was a real good hurdle. He and Gavin Smith had always been battling back and forth.”
Audubon’s last time out was the CAM Classic on Tuesday. Several younger runners stepped up. “I have 7-8 freshmen that are out that are enjoyable kids to be around and they’ll run whatever you put them in.”
