Wayzata scored 81 points and won the Class 2A boys' team title. Lakeville South triumphed on the girls' side, scoring 56.5 team points.

Saturday's second day of Class 2A state track and field meet action proved a worthy successor to Friday when five meet records fell.

Five additional meet records were broken, highlighted by Hopkins junior Taylor Anderson's 100-meter dash victory in 11.71 seconds. He time bettered a meet record and Heather VanNorman's all-time state mark set in 1986.

Anderson also anchored the Royals' winning 4x100 relay in a time of 47.73 seconds, which bested the previous all-time standard set by Minneapolis Washburn in 2004.

The Osseo girls' 4x200 relay set a meet record with a time of 1 minute, 40.22 seconds.

On the boys' side, Park of Cottage Grove senior RJ Alowonle topped a 25-year-old state meet standard by running the 300 hurdles in 36.59 seconds, just off his all-time mark of 36.38 set earlier this spring.

North St. Paul's 4x200 boys' relay blazed to victory in 1 minute, 27.23 seconds to set a state meet record.

Wayzata scored 81 points and won the boys' team title. Lakeville South triumphed on the girls' side, scoring 56.5 team points.
