It wasn’t so much frustrating but more surprising that the Wessington Springs boys’ track and field team came within one point of eighth place at last year’s Class B state meet, coach Becky Bell-Krueger said.
The Spartans — guided by a set of twins — finished in ninth place with 30 points last year in Rapid City, which was one point less than eighth-place Stickney.
Wessington Springs went home with two individual-event titles, but no team trophy.
