GARNETT — Iola Middle School’s eighth-grade boys are Pioneer League champions.
The Mustang squad took the top spot at the League Track Meet Tuesday at Anderson County. Iola’s team score of 97, was 12 points clear of runner-up Anderson County. Wellsville took third at 84.
Tuesday’s meet was cut short because of stormy weather, depriving Iola of even higher scores in events such as the 200-meter dash and 4×400-meter relay.
Nevertheless, Iola’s athletes still brought home plenty of hardware, led by Noah Schowengerdt’s gold medal in the 400-meter dash; Jakolby Hill’s first-place finish in the 1600-meter run and Tre Wilson’s top discus throw.
Others earning gold for IMS were Zoie Hesse in the seventh-grade girls shot put; India Barney in both the 100-meter dash and 100-meter hurdles in the eighth-grade girls division; and Jase Herrmann in the seventh-grade boys 400 meters.
Iola’s seventh-grade girls and boys teams each took home second place as a team, both finishing just behind Wellsville. Iola’s eighth-grade girls finished fourth overall.
