By John RittenhouseBased on early indications, expect the Luverne boys’ track team to field a competitive 800-meter relay team this season.The Cardinal foursome proved it was for real during one of the biggest meets LHS will compete in this season, the Dan Lennon Invitational staged at the Dakota Dome in Vermillion Monday.Mixing it up with some of the best teams from a four-state area in the Class A version of the event, LHS seniors Jordan Siebenahler and Mike Kunstle, junior Ben Uphoff and sophomore Chris Ashby stood tall.The Luverne squad turned in a 1:38.52 during the meet, placing second to the team from Bellveue East."Our kids ran hard," said Cardinal coach Craig Nelson. "Placing second at a competitive meet like this one is no small accomplishment."The LHS boys didn’t come away with any more top-eight finishes at the meet, but the Cardinal girls did.After placing first in the 800-meter run at a meet in Vermillion on Saturday, Luverne’s Lexi Heitkamp turned in another strong performance on Monday.Heitkamp placed eighth in the 800 with a time of 2:33.4.The girls’ 1,600-meter relay team placed eighth with a time of 4:35.06 at the meet.Alyssa Stegenga, Abby Elbers, Tara Muck and Britton Dyer formed the squad.The Luverne teams host their annual quadrangular meet Tuesday.
