White Bear Lake track-and-field held the first meet at the new outdoor facility on the north high school campus on Saturday. The White Bear Lake Coed Invitational’s girls meet had seven teams, including the Bears and two other teams covered by Press Publications, Centennial and Mahtomedi.
Spring Lake Park placed first, followed by White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, and Centennial in second through fourth. Conditions were cold and cloudy with a chilling wind.
Bear highlights were Alyssa Hamlin and Lys-aurele D’Almeda finishing 1-2 in the 200 along with first-places by Katelyn Porter in the 800, the 4x100 with Elaina Hosfield, Kamaria Newton, Autumn Maki, and D’Almeida, and the 4x200 with Hosfield, Gabrielle Bohrer, Newton, and Temitope Adebisi. Nola Hipkins was second in 100 hurdles. The Bears were 2-3-4 in the 100 dash with D’Almeida, Autumn Maki and Kamaria Newton.
Mahtomedi’s Kaili Malvey was one of the meet's standouts as she won the 100 hurdles and high jump, and placed second in 300 hurdles and triple jump. Erin Steinman won triple jump. Gabby Fox took second in the 3200. Sarah Brings was third in the 3200 and fifth in the 1600.

Centennial won the 4x400 with Nelson, Anna Swanson, Klein, and Julia Zalewski. Abigail Woods won the 3200.
