BURLINGTON — Iola and Humboldt middle schools were at Burlington Friday, racking up several top finishes at the Burlington Invitational.

Among the local highlights were Iola’s Kevon Loving and Reginald Davis, who went 1-2 in the 100-meter dash. Loving also took home the gold in the 400 meters, while Davis was tops in the 200.

Iola’s eighth-grade boys also won the 4×100-meter relay. The Mustangs’ seventh-grade girls relay teams won both the 4×100- and 4×200-meter races.

Humboldt’s Envy Oberbeck took home first in the seventh-grade boys long jump as well.

On Monday, some of Iola’s younger athletes competed in a “junior varsity” Pioneer League meet in Osawatomie, where Mary Burris brought home the gold in both the 1600- and 3200-meter runs. Results from that meet weren’t immediately available.

Iola and Humboldt results from Friday’s meet follow.
