Iola’s Cub Scout Pinewood Derby had its typical enthusiastic reception Sunday afternoon at Allen Community College.
Fifteen Cubs unveiled racers they had constructed, ranging from sleek, laid-back cars to one made to look like a military tank. Each of the three dens, Tiger, Wolf and Bear, had several heats to determine winners.
Then, overall Pack winners were determined.
At the top of the heap in the Pack was Jarrod Powe, whose car averaged 227 mph on the short track of about 30 feet. Second place went to Konner Larney, 224.7 mph, and third to Keaton Larney, a smidgen back at 224.5 mph.
Den winners were:
Tiger (first grade): Konner Larney, first; Everett Glaze, second; Alex Donnelly, third.
Wolf (second grade): Ashton Hesse, first; Keaton Larney, second; Kendall Glaze, third.
Bear (third grade): Jarrod Powe, first; Thomas Young, second; Tristan Cary, third.
Top adjusted speed over the course was 227.1 by cars entered by Ashton Hesse and Keaton Larney in Wolf Den heat races.
