HURON — Watertown High School’s track and field squads opened the outdoor porition of their 2014 season by winning 12 events in the Huron Invitational.

No team points were kept in the meet, which also featured Aberdeen Central, Huron, Miller, Mitchell and Pierre.

“It was pretty nice day, just some beautiful weather,” said Watertown head coach Chad Rohde.

The Arrows won eight events in the boys division and four in the girls division.

Watertown’s boys got individual-event victories from seniors Shay Bratland (100-meter dash) and Colton Jordan (pole vault); juniors Matt Decker (long jump), Nick Reiffenberger (1,600 run) and Michael Keogan (shot put) and sophomore Mason Hericks (200 dash).

Hericks and Bratland were joined by seniors Joe Foley and Jesse Poppen on the winning 400-meter relay. Foley, Poppen, Hericks and senior Cody Feierabend combined to win the 800 relay.

Bratland injured his hamstring finishing off the 400 relay.

“I don’t know how long that’s going to be,” said Rohde.

Sophomore Macy Denzer had a hand in three of Watertown’s four wins in the girls division. She won the 200 dash and also ran on the winning 400 and 1,600 relays.

The 400 relay included junior Laike Doyen and freshmen Whitney Scott and Lexi Gloe. Seniors Jessica Wettestad and Molly DeSpiegler ran the 1,600 along with Gloe and Denzer.

Junior Morgan Bones added a victory in the triple jump.

“It was an OK day for us, nothing spectacular,” said Rohde. “We found out a few good things about some other kids.”

The Arrows are slated to host Brookings in a dual on Tuesday. The meet is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. at Allen Mitchell Field.
