The Iola track team was able to pick up several placers in Tuesday’s Burlington Invitational.
The combination of Kendall Jay, Chase Regehr, Nathan Sprague and Braden Plumlee accounted for all of the medals that the team earned.
The four joined forces to take third in the 4×400 and fourth in the 4×800.
Iola coach Dana Daugharthy was very excited with the way his relay teams performed.
“This was Plumlee’s first time running the 4×400, and he did a great job filling in,” Daugharthy said. “Chase and Kendall have been solid 800-meter runners all season, with split times around 2:09. Nathan was the big performer in the 4×800. He shaved 5 seconds off of his personal best to run a 2:11 split.”
Plumlee earned an indivisual medal by taking fifth in the 3200-meter run. Jay finished sixth in the 800-meters and Sprague got a seventh-place finish in the 400-meters.
On the girls side, Asheigh Nicholas picked up two individual medals. She took fourth in the low hurdles and seventh in the long jump.
Cassie Delich took seventh in the high hurdles and Daugharthy says he has been pleased with her effort all season long.
“Cassie had a rough year last year and this year dealing with illness, so it is good to see that she is getting better despite all of that.”
Madi Carlin also earned two medals by tieing for eighth in the high jump and she was part of a 4×100 team that earned seventh.
Carlin was joined on the 4×100 team by Klair Vogel, Addison Prather and Erin Klubek.
