Thompson said he felt it was another “good” performance for Smith.

“Landers had another good meet and we are still kind of trying a few things with some of our participants,” Vikings’ Coach Bret Thompson said. “We are also trying to give some of our players a little bit of a break.”

Thompson was “happy” with the overall performance of his team.

“Everyone had a good meet and we all competed in four events in the last meet,” Thompson said. “We’ve had some times where the weather hasn’t been that great and that makes it harder. Our players have gotten to experience a little bit of everything.”

Thompson said he was also “impressed” with the performance of Toby Odom.

Odom finished fifth in the 110 meter hurdles with a time of 17.83. Odom finished second with a PR of 43.83 in the 300-meter hurdles.

Brady Fryberger finished seventh in the discus with a personal record of 116 feet, 10 inches. Kane Shenyer finished fifth and PRed in the discus with a throw of 121 feet, 5 inches.
