Gifford had held the previous record of 11:31.69 that she set in 1998. Her winning time of 5:02.42 in the 1600 meter run was also a new meet record, breaking the old one of 5:12.12 that she had set in 1998.

Chris Gervais also momentarily held a new meet record in the triple jump when his leap of 42-0 broke the old meet record of 41-11.75. However A.J. Cham of Worthington edged Gervais' jump by an inch to win the meet and set a new record.

Jaguars, Rebels silence Panther bats

The Panther baseball team struggled offensively losing two games.

The Panthers lost a 212 Conference game to Belview-Danube-Renville-Sacred Heart 2-0, before dropping a 6-3 game to defending sub-section champion Murray County Central.

"You can't win any games if you don't score any runs," observed Panther Coach Bill Tauer. "Hinderks (from BDRSH) pitched a good game against us."

The loss dropped T-M-B's record to 9-3 and 7-3 in the conference.
