Rams sweep at Red Oak Relays

The Glenwood boys and girls track teams swept the team titles at Friday’s weather shortened Red Oak Tiger Co-ed Relays.

The rain and cold cancelled the shot put and the discus but it didn’t stop the Glenwood boys from scoring 181 points to win the meet. The host Tigers were a distant second with 88 points. Glenwood’s girls squad won with 166 points to also out-distance the home Tigers’ 113 points.

Despite sprinkling its line up with several junior varsity runners, the Glenwood boys won nine events and placed second in seven events.

“We knew it was going to be our JV’s last opportunity to run in something and knowing that our Drake Relay competitors wouldn’t have a complete meet, we tried to run a few things well while allowing other athletes an opportunity to compete,” said Glenwood coach Mark Starner. “We also knew that some teams may not bring an entire varsity squad, so we knew we could change some things up.”

The Rams got individual wins from Andrew Williams in the 800-meters, Anthony Driscoll-Lee in the 110-meter hurdles, Preston Slayman in the 3200-meters, Kaden Petersen in the 400-meter hurdles and Cody Krause in both the high jump and long jump.

Glenwood also picked up relay wins in the won in the 4x200, 4x800 and the shuttle hurdle relay.

The Glenwood girls notched gold medals from Charley Hernandez in the high jump and the long jump, Allison Koontz in the 100-meters, Carlie Clemmer in the 200-meters, Kennedy Jones in the 100-meter hurdles and Madelyn Berglund in the 1,500-meters.

The Ram girls also picked up relay wins in the 4x200-meters, 4x800, shuttle hurdle, sprint medley and distance medley relays.

Glenwood sweeps
own Co-ed Ram Relays

The Glenwood boys and girls track teams put on dominating performances to pull away from the field and win the team titles at the Co-ed Ram Relays at the Glenwood Athletic Complex last Monday.

The Glenwood boys placed first or second in 11 of 18 events and tallied 170 points to easily out-pace Council Bluffs Lewis Central’s 117 points. The Ram girls won four golds and scored 183.5 points for first. The Titan girls were a distant second with 87 points.

In addition to their top finishes, the Glenwood boys double-placed in nine events.

“It was a good night for the team and a great night for our seniors who finished their senior season undefeated at home,” said Glenwood coach Mark Starner.

Cody Krause picked up gold in the long jump and high jump Andrew Smith (800) and Tyler Boldra (110-meter hurdles) added golds. Krause’s leap of 20 feet, 9.5 inches in the long jump was a personal best.

Brock Sell picked up a pair of runner up finishes in the 100 and 200 and teamed with Payton Longmeyer, Colby Frye and Austin Patton to place second in the 4x200-meter relay.

Starner called the Rams’ performance the “most consistent meet so far as a team” this season.

“We are still not exactly where we want to be yet, but our kids are competing and scoring some points,” Starner said.  “As we inch closer to the conference meet, we’ll try to solidify our line up and come up with the best lineup to score our most possible points.  We’re getting a little closer to figuring out what that lineup will look like.”

Glenwood girls coach Jordan Bueltel said he saw a “bunch of great efforts across the board” at the meet.

“We can look across the board and I think I counted 28 season or personal bests, which is a really impressive number this late in the year and we hope we can keep that trend going,” Bueltel said.  

The Rams long jumpers had a particularly strong night. Charley Hernandez and Jenna Hopp won the top two spots and both set new school records in the process. Hernandez jumped 17 feet, six inches and Hopp jumped 17 feet, 4.5 inches for the new school marks.  

Madelyn Berglund swept the 1,500-meters and the 3000 with new personal-record times.  

Lauren Hughes added a gold for Glenwood in the 800-meters.

“The biggest thing that stands out overall is just our depth, we have a bunch of girls that are able to step in and help us out and really give us chances to score lots of points and that is really going to help us in the upcoming weeks,” Bueltel said. “Now it is time to really start figuring out our best lineup and what gives us the best chance to compete at the Hawkeye 10 meet and state qualifying meet.”
