Ely’s high school boys track team finished in the middle of the pack in successive meets this week.
The Timberwolves were seventh in a 13-team field at Hibbing’s Doc Savage Invitational on May 3, and they went to Aurora Tuesday and took sixth in the 12-team Mesabi East Invitational.
Closer to full strength Tuesday, after several athletes missed Saturday’s event for the high school prom, the Wolves managed a second- place relay unit.
It was made up of seniors Eli Olson and Milo McClelland, with junior Otto Devine and freshman Wyatt Devine. They combined for the runner-up spot in the four-by-800 (9:02.81).
The Wolves also had back-to-back third-place finishes in two distance events, with Wyatt Devine in the 800 (2:11.36) and Blake Houde in the 1,600 (5:00.14).
