Track roundup

Iowa City Press-Citizen

Regina won a pair of events and scored 57 points to tie Cedar Rapids Prairie for third place.

City's Emily Triplett won the 100-meter hurdles in a close race with Regina's Carly DuCharme and set a meet record of 14.68 seconds. Triplett also led off the first-place shuttle hurdle relay, which set a meet record of 1:04.64.

City's 4x200 relay also won in a meet-record time of 1:46.37.

Other winners for the Little Hawks were Sarah Anciaux in the discus and shot put, Ruhee Arora in the 3,000, Kelsey Mims in the 400, Nelle Trefz in the 800, Elise Mozena in the 200 and Molly Sabers in the 400 hurdles.

City also won the distance medley, sprint medley, 4x100 and 4x400 relays.

"We had a number of kids that aren't regular varsity point-scorers that came in and scored a lot of points," City coach Terry Coleman said.

DuCharme won the long jump for the Regals, and Evelyn Ross won the 1,500 in a personal-best time of 5:20.68.

"Maybe the legs were a little tired from Tuesday night," Regina coach Chad Swope said. "We didn't compete as well as I thought we would have."
