State A Track Meet recap from the Yankton P&D online.
Congrats again to Micah and Izayah. We're very proud of you both for your hard work and dedication.
------------------------
For the Scotland-Menno Trappers, Micah Goehring finished sixth in boys’ triple jump (42-4 1/4) and Izayah Ulmer finished sixth in Class A Boys’ 800-meter dash (1:58.78).
Even though he expected to place higher, Ulmer expressed pride in his final placement.
“I haven’t had an individual medal all year so I’m happy that I got this one,” said Ulmer.
Ulmer described his success as a confidence booster for Saturday’s finals while also recounting his previous wins throughout the season.
“In the middle of the year I had a really big breakout race and that really helped me get motivated for this race and the medley,” said Ulmer. “Getting this medal before tomorrow is a really big boost.”
Ulmer attributed his medal-winning performance to the camaraderie that the Trappers have fostered amongst themselves. He specifically mentioned the recently graduated Bryce Sattler as one of his biggest supporters.
“In the last few years, Bryce Sattler really helped me a lot,” said Ulmer. “Even during the meets last year, we really pushed each other to get better. As a team, we have a mentality of knowing that we’re good we just need to battle for the win.”




Congratulations to Izayah Ulmer on placing 6th in the 800 M run at the State A Boys Meet. Izayah ran a personal best time of 1.58.78 and set the Menno school record. Way to go Izayah. We're proud of our senior runner.

Congratulations to Micah Goehring on placing 6th in the Class A Boys Triple Jump with a leap of 42’4”. Way to go Micah. Get the title next year in Class B!
Go Trappers.

Trappers’ Guthmiller Earns Second In ‘A’ Girls’ Javelin
BY JONATHAN NYAMWEYA sports@yankton.net May 28, 2026
SIOUX FALLS— Amongst a slew of outstanding performances throughout the day, Scotland/Menno’s Kylie Guthmiller managed to stand out on the opening day of the South Dakota State Class A Track and Field Championships on Thursday in Sioux Falls.
Guthmiller earned a score of 121-4 which placed her just below Sioux Falls Christian’s Sydney Schaap (121-5) who won the championship. Undeterred by her second placement, Guthmiller expressed pride in her effort during today’s events and throughout the season. When reflecting on her performance throughout the season, she admits that it began with some difficulty.
“The beginning was a little rough but I just had to stick with it and keep practicing,” said Guthmiller.
Guthmiller also explained that she was impressed by her skills out on the field today.
“Today was pretty exciting. When I first saw how far I threw the javelin I was genuinely surprised. I’d say it was my best performance of the season,” said Guthmiller.
Guthmiller is optimistic about the rest of the track meet and the prospect of maintaining a good record.
“Placing high is a great feeling and I hope that we can continue to do well for the rest of the meet,” said Guthmiller.

Big congratulations to Kylie Guthmiller for placing 2nd in the Stare A Girls Javelin today at the state track meet. She threw 121 feet and 4 inches. Way to go Kylie! Go Trappers.
