There’s plenty of promise this season for ACGC girls and boys track and field teams. The teams continued to deliver impressive results at the Davis Relays in Perry last night. The girls finished in 3rd place with 109 points and the boys took 2nd with 112.
Individually Kate Crawford and Mady McDermott continued their strong starts. Crawford won both the 800 and 3000 meter runs. She finished three seconds ahead of freshman Gwen Steffen in the 800 and nearly sixteen seconds ahead of Ella Waddle in the 3000, both of Panorama. McDermott came within one inch of the Charger record in the shot put, set by her last year at the Coon Rapids-Bayard Tom Tipton Invitational. She launched the shot 37 feet flat, just over two feet longer than second place finisher Ashley Onken of Carroll.
There were also some notable finishes on the boys side. Juniors Clay Billheimer and Noah Nelsen each took top three finishes in both of their events. Billheimer crossed the line first in the 800 and second in the 1600. Nelsen also came away with a top finish in the 3200, finishing 30 seconds ahead of Des Moines Christian’s Tyler Ketcham, and placed third in the 800. Senior Caden Wardyn also picked up another title in the long jump, hitting the sandpit after 19-04.5.
The boys 4×200 meter relay team also won with a time of 1:41.70. The relays featured athletes from: Panorama, Carroll, Winterset, Perry, Saydel, and Des Moines Christian. Both teams will hit the oval again Tuesday in Panora.
