Austin junior Isaiah Cabeen continued to build on his breakout season for the Packers as Austin’s boys and girls teams each took third in a home triangular at Larry Gilbertson Track and Field Monday.

Cabeen took second in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 43.65 as Seth Johnson of Owatonna ran the third best time in Minnesota this year with a time of 39.96 seconds. While he didn’t take first, it’s races like Monday’s that have built up Cabeen’s motivation to improve in the hurdles.

“It took some developing and it was hard at the beginning because I didn’t have any endurance,” Cabeen said. “Now that I’ve built up my endurance, I’m getting there.”

Cabeen, who took fifth in the triple jump, has had some good teammates to run with as Alan Obang took second in the 110-meter hurdles and Triumph Ogbeide took fourth in long jump.

Competing with his teammates and opponents has motivated Cabeen.

“I’ve just been practicing hard and I put in 100 percent every time,” Cabeen said. “Other people push you to be your best and that’s how you get to the next level. It’s everyone’s job to step up.”

The Austin girls were led by Marissa Shute, who won the 1600-meter run and Aggie McKichan, who took first in the high jump.

Chok Bol took second in the 100-meter hurdles and Marie Tolbert took third in the 300-meter hurdles.
