BURNS – The Southeast Cyclones boys finished fifth as a team, with seven top-eight finishes, while the girls had six top-eight finishes to take seventh at the Burns Invitational on Thursday.
Patrick Swank had the best finish among all of the Cyclones, earning silver and bronze. In the 1600-meter run, Swank finished in 5:36.83 to take second. He turned in a time of 12:04.33 in the 3200-meter run to finish third. In the final distance event, Andrew Cox finished 12th in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:54.86.
“Patrick Swank did as good as anyone. He is still young,” coach Mark Bullington said. “He is still a freshman so he will get better but I thought he did well especially for the wind.”
In the 200-meter dash, the Cyclones had two runners place in the top eight. Jacob Cushman took fifth in the finals with a time of 24.49 seconds, while Connor Humphrey clocked a time of 25.13 seconds to finish eight. In the prelims, Cushman finished fifth (24.58 seconds), Humphrey finished eighth (25.14 seconds) and Luke Haas finished 11th (26.54 seconds).
Southeast did not have as much success in the 100-meter dash, with Humphrey sliding into the eighth spot with a time of 12.40 seconds in the finals. Humphrey finished ninth in the prelims (12.19 seconds), while Cushman and Brady Fullmer tied for the 11th spot (12.25 seconds). Haas was not far behind, taking 13th with a time of 12.52 seconds.
Fullmer was the only Cyclone boy to compete in any hurdles, taking eighth in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 48.41 seconds.
