I-35 wins two events, Clarke wins one at DeWitt Invite

Interstate 35 girls track team finished fifth to lead three area schools in Class A here April 2 at the DeWitt Invite, while Murray finished fourth in Class B.

The Roadrunners scored 60 points, edging out Clarke (57) for fifth place. Central Decatur finished eighth in Class A with 27 points. Davis County won the Class A team competition with 131 points.

Murray tallied 53 points in Class B. Wayne bested the Class B field with 190 points.

Interstate 35 picked up a pair of event victories on the evening, while host Clarke grabbed one victory along the way.

Roadrunner senior Maddie Albers was involved in both wins for Interstate 35.

She edged out Clarke sophomore Bailey Zimmerman for the top spot in the 100 meter dash, running 13.32 seconds to Zimmerman’s 13.52 seconds.

Shortly after winning the 100, Albers ran the 400-meter leg on Interstate 35’s winning distance medley relay. Joining Albers on the relay were Keann Williamson, Miranda Hahn and Cheyenne Hiatt.

That quartet ran 4:43.69 seconds, winning by 3 seconds over Creston.

Clarke took the top two spots in the 100 meter hurdles, as the Zimmerman twins posted the two fastest times in the event.

Bailey Zimmerman earned the victory by running 16.62 seconds, while Solanna Zimmerman finished second in 17.19 seconds.

Bailey Zimmerman’s time of 16.62 seconds currently ranks her 30th in the state of Iowa among all four classes for Drake Relays qualifying. The top 32 times in the state at the April 16 deadline earn entry into the Drake Relays.

Hiatt finished second in the 800 meters for the Roadrunners, running 2:39.07. Pearl Jones took third place in the 400 meter dash with her time of 1:10.01.

Central Decatur picked up a pair of runner-up finishes, as Hallie Linhart cleared 4-10 in the high jump for second place. The Cardinals’ shuttle hurdle relay also took second.

In Class B, Murray freshman Kylie Shields finished runner-up in both of the distance events.

Shields crossed the line in second place in the 3,000 meters behind Nodaway Valley junior Destiny Scar, running 12:41.69.

Scar and Shields also went first and second in the 1,500 meters, as Shields ran 5:54.63.

Lady Mustang senior Chellsea Jones finished second in the discus throw with her best toss of 78 feet, 5 inches.

Sophomore Brandi Gilbert placed fourth in both the 400 meters and the 200 meter dash for Murray.
