Iola High’s junior varsity track team hosted several schools Monday, a few days later than expected, because of weather.
The wait had little effect on the young Mustang athletes, who racked up a number of gold medals.
Anna Beckwith led the charge, with gold medals in both the long jump and 400-meter dash. Rio Lohman nearly equaled Beckwith’s feat, winning the 300-meter hurdles, and claiming silver in the 100-meter hurdles. Rebekah Coltrane took second in both the long jump and triple jump, while Shelby Daniels finished in second in the 100 and third in the 400.
On the boys’ side, Cole Moyer won the 3200-meter run, while Brock Sander bested all comers in the shot put, and Samuel Sturgeon was quickest in the 100-meter dash. Sturgeon tacked on a silver medal in the 400, as did Griffin Westervelt in the high jump. Drake Mathew added a third- and fourth-place finish, respectively, in the 200 and 400.
Two girls relay teams, the 4×400- and 4×800-meter squads, each took home silver medals. Iola’s boys took third in the 4×400.
