Cowgirls medal in two events at state track

The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows girls track & field team took seven events to last week’s state meet, medaling in two of them for a nice ending to their season.

“It was really nice weather,” stated head coach Monty Harker. “I can’t remember how long that it’s been that nice. There were records set all over.”

The team ran the shuttle hurdle relay prelims early Thursday morning, coming in 14th in a time of 1:09.85. Those girls were Ana Johnson, Maddie Disney, Jordyn Jondle and Megan Zwiefel. “That was their fastest time of the year,” said Harker. “I knew it would be hard to make the finals. Jordan and Ana both had fast splits, but there were a lot of fast teams there.”  Maddie Disney then competed in the long jump event. After fouling on her first two attempts, she went 15’ 8.5” for 16th place overall. “She’s disappointed, because I know she should have made the finals,” said Harker. The first day concluded for the team with Claire Davis in the 400 dash. She put up a 1:00.29 on the board for 11th place. “That was one of her better runs,” said Harker. “She did a nice job.”

 

The Cowgirls medaled in the 4x4 relay and the sprint medle relay. For the full story, see the May 26 edition of the Monitor.
