Ironwood's Riley Jarocki clears a hurdle in the 55-meter race during Friday's Simpson Invitational indoors at UW-Superior. He took fourth.
SUPERIOR, Wis. - Ironwood's Rachel Hudacek won the high jump and three other Red Devils finished in the top three at Friday's Simpson Invitational.
Hudacek was the only girl at the meet made up of mostly big schools to clear 5 feet in the high jump.
"She had a very good day today, especially for indoors," Ironwood coach Ted Sim said.
Ironwood's Nick Niemi finished second in the 3,200 run behind Ashland's Maury Miller, who won the 1,600 and 3,200 runs.
The Red Devils' Isaac Aukee finished third in the pole vault with a mark of 12-0. Only Hayward's Lane Deyo soared higher than Aukee at 12-6. Both Aukee and Hudacek went higher than they did in Tuesday's opening meet at Lakeland.
Elliot Gudgeon took third in the 400 dash for Ironwood.
"Elliot had a really good day in the 400," Sim said.
The Northwestern boys won with the Ironwood boys sixth, 1.5 points behind fifth-place Drummond, also of the Indianhead Conference.
Superior won the girls team event with Ironwood seventh.
"With the bigger schools, we just don't have the numbers," Sim said. "We were real happy with our performances today."
