FAIRMONT — For their final regular-season meet of the year, the Fairmont Cardinals proved their dominance.
Fairmont’s girls scored 291.5 points to runner-up Hutchinson’s 187 in Class AA competition, while Fairmont’s boys held off the Tigers 215-195 for the team title during the Fairmont Invitational on Friday at Cardinal Track.
In the Class A competition, Martin County West’s girls emerged victorious by a slimmer margin, holding off the Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial/Nicollet Knight Raiders by a 166-163 score. On the boys’ side, it was the opposite story as the Knight Raiders edged the Mavericks for team glory, 148-140.5.
The Cardinal boys won seven races in the Class AA ranks.
Josh Koehler, Jeff Janssen, Jesse Walters and Trevor Bulock opened the meet with a win in the 4x800 in 8 minutes and 39.4 seconds.
Later, Paul Mallory secured three individual victories. He started his day by winning the high hurdles in 14.
