Eberle teamed with senior Lexus Trickel, Mathiason and Ganshert to won the 1,600 relay (4:22.8).
"Cammi ran the 400 in about 59.5 seconds," Davis said. "That was just phenomenal."

The Cheesemakers' trio of pole vaulters - Eberle, junior Payton Sigafus and freshman Lily Frehner - won the relay. Eberle cleared 10 feet, which was a personal record.

The Monroe boys won four of the relay races. The Cheesemakers' 3,200 relay team of Drake Ingold, Dylan Scace, Jonah Tostrud and Jason Koller won in a time of 8:33.5 seconds.
"It's one of the top times in the state in Division 2," Monroe boys track coach Scott Mosher said. "They ran it pretty easy because they had other events coming up."

"We didn't know what the competition would be like," Mosher said of the Sauk Prairie Relays. "We wanted to win it. It was a nice surprise."
