MARTENSDALE — The Lynnville-Sully girls track and field team won three different types of events on Thursday.
Foreign exchange student Helle Augustinussen won the long jump and the Hawks were victorious in both a sprint relay and a distance relay during the Martensdale-St. Marys Coed Invitational.
Lynnville-Sully registered 14 top-three finishes in all and that led the Hawks to a runner-up finish in the team race. The Hawks trailed meet champion Interstate 35 by just three points and Colfax-Mingo was sixth in the seven-team field.
