            The Howard Wood Dakota Relays put many of the teams from across the state against each other, and was held both Friday and Saturday. Over 3,000 athletes competed, and is considered one of the state's premier track and field events. Participating teams included all Sioux Falls High Schools, Brandon Valley, and Rapid City Stevens, along with Garretson competitors Chester Area, Colman-Egan, and Dell Rapids. With so many participants, it was difficult for Garretson athletes to place, but Lily Ranschau placed 18th in the 100m hurdles and 24th in the 300m hurdles, and the boys 3200m relay team of Preston Bohl, Sam Schleuter, Carter Siemonsma, and Collin Olson placed 23rd.
