STURGIS – Brandon Valley and O’Gorman finished tied for the girls title and Sioux Falls Lincoln won its fifth straight boys title Saturday at the State AA Track & Field Meet at Woodle Field.
The girls’ team title was decided in the last event, the 4×400 relay. O’Gorman finished second, one-hundredth of a second behind Yankton, to put O’Gorman and Brandon Valley into the tie. This is the first state team title for the Knights and the second for the Lynx.
Lincoln needed to finish better than Roosevelt in the boys 4×400 to win the team title, and the Patriots did, winning it, while the Rough Riders were third.
Pierre’s girls scored one point, while the boys scored four.
