EUREKA — Humboldt High’s Drew Wilhite added to his trophy case by winning gold in the 400-meter dash Thursday at the Pioneer League Track Meet.

He added a silver in the high jump and bronze in the 800-meter run to help propel the Cubs to second place as a team.

Levi McGowen added a pair of silver medals, in the triple jump and the 200-meter dash, while Peyton Wallace took home bronze in both the 1600 and 3200.

Maddox Johnson continued his torrid season, placing second in all three throwing events — the javelin, discus and shot put.

Kenisyn Hottenstein’s third-place finish in the javelin headlined the Lady Cubs’ day on the track.

Humboldt’s athletes head to Chanute Friday for the Class 3A Regional Meet, where a top-four finish in any event will qualify them for the State Track Meet the following week in Wichita.

Full results from Thursday follow.
