The fact that the boys and girls track teams at Perham High School are moving kids around from event-to-event doesnt seem to be holding them back much. The Jackets have been allowing their athletes to compete in different events in different meets, showing off their depth and allowing the coaching staff to get a good look at each kids strengths and weaknesses.
We rotate our squads through events to keep them fresh and see what is their best event, head coach Mike Peterson said.
The strategy worked last Friday at D-G-F as the boys finished second and the girls finished third.

The boys finished with just three first place finishes, but the team filled in plenty of other spots in the top-six.
Caleb Anderson moved up from the sprints to win the 800m run with a time of 2:00.92. Charlie Nord was third, 14 seconds behind Anderson. Kevin Lachowitzer finished fourth.
The Jackets finished 1-2 in the 3200m run with Justin Tellinghuisen (10:25.90) beating out teammate Nick Adkins by nearly 13 seconds.
Perhams final win came from the 4x200 relay team of Alonzo Williams, Bertram Schoen, Alex Lindemann and Caleb Anderson.
Nathan Lillis earned a pair of second place finishes in the pole vault and discus. The Jackets were particularly strong in discus with Caleb Reuer and Mike Restad finishing third and fourth, respectively.
The girls came through with a pair of wins in distance runs and a relay win.
Brittany Gigstead won the 1600m run (5:25.63) ahead of teammate Maddie McClellan, who finished second.
McClellan wasnt to be outdone, however, as she beat a pair of teammates, Ali Engel and Sadie Ellenberg to win the 3200m run.

The 4x100 relay team of Becky Baumgart, Madison Gigstead, Ashley Palubicki and Leah Miller, remained unbeaten on the season with a winning time of 55.09.
Perham Invite
With the Breckenridge Invite on Thursday considered to be one of the top early season meets, the Jackets rested some athletes and had several others running different events, both boys and girls teams finished second at the Perham Invite on Tuesday. Breckenridge won both boys and girls team titles. Individual times were not available at press time.
