Thurston swept the team titles at the Midwestern League district track and field championships on Friday. Marshfield was second in both team races.
Thurston’s girls dominated on the way to 193 points and a 52-point victory over Marshfield.

Marshfield’s Caleb Kruse won three events — the triple jump and both hurdles races.
Teammate Will Messerle won the javelin and Jared Bassett took the 1,500-meters, giving the Pirate boys five individual champions on the final day of the meet.
Bo Cutting was second in the shot put and Christopher Wise finished second in the high hurdles to also earn trips to the Class 5A state meet.
Marshfield’s Ali Worthen won both hurdles races, but finished second to Thurston’s Kelly Petaja in the high jump.
