SPIRIT LAKE Despite three top finishes in relay events, and a first-third effort in the 400-meter dash by Tate VonEhwegen and Dalton Flikkema, Spencer wound up in fourth place among a powerhouse field at the Sheryl Maahs Co-ed Track & Field Meet in Spirit Lake Monday. The event, originally scheduled for Tuesday, was moved ahead a day with severe weather predicted.
