Little Hawks break 4 records

Iowa City Press-Citizen

City High’s girls track team set four meet records on Saturday en route to taking the team title at the Cedar Rapids Xavier Invitational.

Jessica Elliott set the new mark in the discus with a throw of 125 feet, 9 inches. Maya Monitto-Webber set the new standard in the 100-meter hurdles with her time of 15.25 seconds.

Also inking their names in the record books was the 4x800 team of Nelle Trefz, Ali Kirsch, Meggan Reed and Jennie Funk and the shuttle hurdle team of Aly Roelf, Emily Triplett, Monitto-Webber and Katie Fraga.

“We were really focused on the Drake qualifying events, and in every case we improved our seeds in that,” said City coach Terry Coleman. “Everything dropped a couple seconds.”

While she didn’t set a record, sophomore Rachel Manuel turned some heads in the 3,000, winning the event with a time of 11:10.31.

“She’s a sophomore who didn’t see a lick of varsity action last year and is on the cusp of qualifying for the Drake Relays,” Coleman said.

City also got gold in the 1,500 courtesy of Funk and in the sprint medley relay with the team of Elizabeth Matzen, Heaven Tutson, Virginia Dreier and Monica Mims.
