An afternoon perhaps fit for wintry residents provided a perfect backdrop for Polk County’s Polar Bear 1 indoor track and field meet in G.M. Tennant Stadium.

The Wolverines made their home debut in the six-team meet and did so in fine fashion, with the Polk boys winning the meet and the Wolverine girls sharing second place.

The Polk County boys scored 89 points to nip East Henderson (86) and Thomas Jefferson (46). R-S Central won the girls’ meet with 98 points, with Thomas Jefferson and Polk tied at second with 90 points.

Event winners for the Polk boys included:

• Davis Young in the 1600-meter run with a time of 5:00.29.
• Polk’s 4×200-meter relay and 4×400-meter relay teams.
• Blake Anderson in the 500-meter dash with a time of 1:13.90.
• Freshman Sam Rhein in the shot put with a toss of 33-4.

Pacing the Polk girls were:

• Karsyn Huskey, winning the 500-meter dash with a time of 1:28.18.
• Leah Dotson, soaring to top honors in the pole vault with a leap of 7-6. That meets the qualifying standard for the state indoor championships in February.
• Jessie Bradley in the high jump with a mark of 4-2.
• Polk’s 4×400-meter relay team.

Polk County is slated to be back in action on December 14, hosting the annual Reindeer Games.
