The Hillsboro track meet on Tuesday was attended by two small schools and two larger schools. Although Goessel and Centre were competitive in several events, Hesston dominated the meet with Hillsboro coming in second in both the boys and girls divisions.
Goessel seniors Tia Goertzen and Ali Buller scored seven and five points respectively, but ten girls finished in the top five places, scoring points for the Bluebirds.
Twelve boys scored points at Hillsboro for the Goessel team with Heath Goertzen getting third place in two events and Brian Hiebert earning a second and fifth place in individual events.
