What a wild day for the Mainstreeters

The track and field complex was loaded with action tonight with the first home meet since 1991.

So much to report from Tuesday's action!

The Mainstreeters boys' golf team shot their way to third place in a West Central Conference meet hosted at Greystone Golf Course with a score of 178. They trailed second-place BOLD by just three strokes and beat fourth-place Melrose Area by two strokes.

The Mainstreeters girls' golf team took third place at a WCC meet in Melrose and then fourth place at a WCC meet at Greystone to hold firm to their grip on third place in the overall 10-team standings.

Head coach T.J. Schmiesing and his Mainstreeters team huddle up early in game two of tonight's double-header with MA/CA. At stake was first place in the conference standings.

At Sauk Centre, the Mainstreeters softball team dropped two nailbiter games by 1-0 and 2-1 scores against powerhouse Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta.
