In a meet that felt more like mid-March than late-April, the Decorah and South Winn girls’ track teams didn’t let the cold get to them in Waukon Tuesday night.
“It was a cold night, but we are happy anytime we get to compete. We are finding out where our toughness lies,” said Decorah coach Cristy Nimrod.
Decorah wrapped up the night in second with 137.33 points, behind New Hampton’s 150. After Monday’s meet at Oelwein was cancelled, the Warriors scrambled to get another go at getting on the track and claimed 59 points for seventh place.
