City grabs Prairie Relays win

Iowa City Press-Citizen

City High's girls track team stayed undefeated this spring by winning the Cedar Rapids Prairie Relays Thursday night.

The Little Hawks won 11 events and compiled 1621/2 points, 69 points better than runner-up Prairie.

West finished in fourth with 68 points.

City junior Monica Mims ran on two relays that notched state-best times and won the 400 meters in 59.75 seconds.

The Little Hawks' sprint medley relay of Elizabeth Matzen, Maya Monitto-Weber, Patrice Jones and Mims ran a meet-record 1:51.89. The 4x400 relay of Meggan Reed, Mims, Kelsie Full and Katie Krei ran a time of 4:02.81.

Mims ran a sub-60-second split in the 4x400 and sub-59 in the sprint medley.

Jessica Elliott won the shot put and the discus. Her throw of 40 feet, 111/2 inches in the shot was her best by a foot. Ashton Strickland won the long jump with a best effort of 16-3.

City sophomore Jennie Funk won the 3,000 and 800. Katy Fraga captured the 400 hurdles and Maya Monitto-Weber the 100 hurdles.

West High notched one winner - Lynn Dobyns in the 1,500 - as the Women of Troy tried to fine tune some things for Monday's district meet.

Both Jenny Evans, who finsihed second with a throw of 37-61/2 inches, and third place Katie Jenn had personal best throws in the shot put.

"That was a huge thrill for both girls," said West coach Mike Parker. "Our girls did a good job of keeping focus. We're in our mode, looking toward Monday."
