City, West impress in MVC

West High and City High both brought home a bumper crop of first-place finishes at the Mississippi Valley Conference Indoor Track Meet on Monday in Cedar Falls.

For the Women of Troy, Liz Huntley and Allison Dirks won the overall MVC jumping events. Huntley won with a 16-feet, 3 1/2-inch long jump, and Dirks with a 5-3 high jump.

Janet Dobyns won the 3,000, Claire Hall won the 800 and Nicole Novak was first in the 400.

Sarah Wickman was second in the 1,500.

City High's Nelle Trefz edged out Wickman 4:47.63 to 4:49.18, and a pack of other highly touted distance runners were right behind.

"They hammered on each other," City High coach Terry Coleman said. "It was a very impressive race."

City High, which reported divisional place-winners, had five other first-place finishes in the Mississippi Division, led by Emily Triplett in the 60 hurdles with a time of 8.81 - about a half-second ahead of the field.

Sarah Ziegenhorn won the 800 for City and Katie Krei won the 200.
