The Frazee boys' track and field team had an outstanding day, breaking a couple of records and placing first in the Pelican Rapids meet Thursday.
The Hornets took their first meet of the season by scoring 153 points, ahead of second-place Morris Area, which had 142.
"We had some very good performances and are very pleased with where we are at this point of the season," said Frazee head boys' coach Brian Tangen.
Senior Forrest Sauer set the bar a little higher in the pole vault, after he broke the FHS record with a height of 12-0 Thursday, for first place. Sauer previously was tied with Tyler Steinle and John Schermerhorn for the school record, but now sits alone on top of school history.
"Pole vault coach Ryan Damlo has done an outstanding job with our vaulters," Tangen said.
