Megan Seibel won the long jump and broke her own school record in the triple jump to garner a pair of All-Big Nine efforts at the conference meet Friday at Rochester Century.

The Packer girls finished eighth as a team.
The 4×200 and 4×400 relay teams narrowly missed All-Conference, finishing third and fourth respectively. Both relays ran season-best times.
Bryan Larson led the Packer boys to an eighth-place tie with personal-best times in the 200- and 400-meter events. His third-place finish in 22.78 in the 200 qualified him for All-Conference.
Evan Sorenson placed fourth in the 110-high hurdles and was third in the pole vault, earning All-Conference honorable mention in each.
