On the morning of Thursday, May 23rd, the 8th Edition of the Bi-annual 3rd Grade Pirate Cup took place under sunny and near-perfect conditions at the Grantsburg High School track. A record-setting crowd tested the seating capacity of the football grandstands, as the community came out in droves to support the event. The fastest third grade girls and boys set off in a race for two laps around the quarter-mile synthetic oval. First up was the female competitors. Runners included: Zoe Marhenke, Josie Meyer, Marley Palmquist, Izzy Peterson, Aria Seume, Mari Luedtke, Katelyn Olson and Elena Quin. Josie Meyer flashed to front of the pack, and crossed the stripe first to lead lap one. Current school-record holder Marhenke followed Meyer in second place. Seume and Palmquist waged a side-by-side battle for third. On the second lap, Meyer looked like she might pull away, but soon Palmquist picked up her pace and started to run down the leader. Marley seemed to find a second gear down the back chute, and quickly reeled in Meyer entering turn three. They raced in close proximity out of the final corner with Palmquist taking a narrow victory in a thrilling race that had the crowd on their feet. Marhenke ended up a strong third with Izzy Peterson close behind. The boys were next, and the runners taking to the lanes were: Olen Chell, Wyan Polzine, Gideon Kaiser, Zack Schmidt, Luis Ayohua-Hernandez, Gabe Tyberg, Daniel Hoefs and Elliott Christians. At the start, Chell, Schmidt and Polzine set a rapid pace on the first lap, as Chell looked to make it a Pirate Cup sweep during his third grade career. He did just that, as he started to gap the field on the second lap, showing why he was the favorite in the week entering the event. He won his second trophy in dominating fashion, with Kaiser nipping Schmidt in the final few meters for third at the conclusion of the race. Friendly competition and good sportsmanship were on display for the bleachers full of fellow Grantsburg students and parents who came to show their support. The ninth edition of the 3rd Grade Pirate Cup is slated to take place in September 2024.
