The girls track team was back in action Tuesday night, competing at Waukon.
In the varsity meet, Decorah was the champion with 160 points while claiming seven gold medals.
Earning individual titles were Chloe Reiser in the shot put with a throw of 39 feet 1 inch. Hayley Stowe broke the tape in the 100-meter dash in 12.84 seconds. Lani Hubka was a two-time individual champion, winning the 200-meter dash in 26.33 seconds and the 400-meter dash in 59.37 seconds.
Three relays were also the top of the field. In 1:10.39, it was Sydney Kipp, Renae Wilson, Leslie Campbell and Autumn Schaller winning the shuttle hurdle relay. Combining talents in the 4×100 for gold were Ava Holthaus, Sami Mount, Kailyn O’Gara and Dahlyn Headington. They had a time of 51.65 seconds. Stopping the clock at 4:25.17 in the 4×400 relay for gold were McKenzie Riley, Lily Sandhorst, Jerikah Dodd and Wilson.
“This was a good meet with many athletes competing in different events. We are coming together as a team. It was fun to see them supporting each other,” said Co-Coaches Cristy Nimrod and Brad Johansen.
Numerous Vikes will be competing at the Drake Relays this weekend in Des Moines and the whole team will return to the oval one more time for a regular season meet at South Winn Monday, May 1, at 4:30 p.m. Decorah will then turn its attention to the postseason which begins with the Northeast Iowa Conference meet at New Hampton Thursday, May 4, at 5 p.m.
