NORFOLK — Hartington-Newcastle traveled to Norfolk Catholic for arguably its toughest meet of the season at the Norfolk Catholic Invitational on May 4.
Add in the fact, head coaches, Blair Kalin and Mandy Hochstein are throttling back some of their athletes to get them ready for the upcoming district meet, and points were hard to come by.

Norfolk Catholic won the boys’ title with 152 points, Pierce was second with 108 while Hartington-Newcastle was seventh with 24.
