City
wins Warrior Invitational
Iowa
City Press-Citizen
The little-known Little Hawks stepped up
to lead City to a title at the Warrior Invitational in
Cedar Rapids Saturday.
City, participating without
its top three distance runners and four of its top six
sprinters, still edged Cedar Falls 127 to 111.
“We had kids placing
in varsity events today that have never run varsity events
in their life,” said City coach Terry Coleman. “Being
able to show that we not only have the kids that everyone
knows about, but other kids that come along and work hard
every day, was really special.”
What also made Saturday special
was Jessie Branstetter. The senior broke the oldest Little
Hawk record in the books by jumping 5 feet, 3¼
inches in the high jump.
It broke the mark of 5-3
set by Dawn Alvarez, daughter of Wisconsin football coach
Barry Alvarez, in 1987.
“She had already won
the event but we asked them to add an extra quarter inch,”
Coleman said. “She took a couple attempts at 5-4¼,
but at that point she was getting a little tired.”
Junior Jessica Elliott set
a personal best in the shot put with a throw of 39-5.
The toss was good for second place.
“Sometimes we don’t
do as well in the field events as we did today,”
said Coleman. “That was good to see.”
