(Below) A couple shots of her in action at the 2008 Section 5A meet.
Senior Jaguars girls track and field standout Heidi Lensing is at the Class A tournament today. She is performing at 3pm at Hamline University in the Long Jump and High Jump.
Unofficial results at 4:50pm: Lensing hit an 18-2 in the Long Jump, which is still going. She's got one more jump to go. Two other girls hit 18-5 and 18-8. At this point it appears that Heidi will nail a Top-Five finish in that event. (Awesome!)
In the High Jump, Heidi cleared 5-2. Coach Richards believes she will come in at 6th place. (Awesome!)
So it's almost a sure thing at this point that she picked up two very cool state tournament medals.
As a "team," she earned 12.5 points in the overall standings.
What a way to finish a stellar career at B-B-E.
Update at 8pm...Final results were Heidi earning 3rd place (18-2 1/2) in the Long Jump and a tie for 5th place (5-2) in the High Jump.
In Section 5A baseball news... Browerville/Eagle Valley extended their stunning run through Section 5A by sweeping Royalton in the championship series, winning 11-1 and 2-0. The Royals needed only one win to advance to state, but the Broncos rode the arm of senior ace pitcher Scott Lieser for their second straight trip to the Class A state tournament.
At the Class A State Fastpitch tournament, Section 5A champion Maple Lake made another run to the state championship game, beginning with a 4-3 win in nine innings over Wabasso on Thursday in the quarterfinals.
In Friday's championship, the Irish fell to New Life Academy (dang privates) by a 7-0 score. Maple Lake finishes 23-4-1 overall.
Wabasso, the Section 3A champion, eventually won the Consolation Championship (5th place) in Friday afternoon action.
Come on out to Elrosa tonight! 8:15 first pitch for the "Battle for the Keg" which is with the Chargers coming into the game.
