Jackson County Central will have a large group of student-athletes competing in Thursday's Section 3A track and field meet at the Inglis track and field complex in Redwood Falls.
The Huskies will have 34 entries in the meet, 17 boys and 17 girls.
Due to a forecast of hot and humid weather, start times for the section meet were pushed back 90 minutes. Field events will start at 3:30 p.m., with running events at 5:30.
The top two finishers in all events advance to the state meet and there is also a qualifying standard to advance to state in each event.
The state meet will be held at St. Michael-Albertville High School. The 3200 meters will be held on Thursday, June 17 with all other events on Friday, June 18. The boys meet is at 10 a.m. that day, with the girls at 3:30 p.m.
For the JCC boys, Caleb Vancura had the best qualifying throw in the discus from last week's sub-section meets (142-4). He also had the fourth-best seed performance in shot put (46-0).
Evan Insichienmay is one of four high jumpers to go 5-11.
Trevin Gaustad will be a top contender in three events. He had the second-best seed effort in long jump (20-11.5), fourth in triple jump (42-.5) and fourth in the 110-meter hurdles (16.66).
Also, the Huskies' 4x200-meter relay team had the third-best seed time (1:35.63) and the 4x800 team had the fourth-best (8:51.86).
