See You At The State Meet



We had a beautiful evening last Friday for the District Track Meet in Cedar Falls. Linn-Mar finished third out of eight teams, making it their highest District finish in school history. Congrats to the entire Lion team for a great performance!

Linn-Mar had eight individuals or relay teams qualify for the State Track Meet in DesMoines this week. Josh and Jon both ran in the 4x400 relay and set personal records. Shawn West and Wes Shetterly also ran legs on the relay team. Way to go guys! The 4x400 team qualified with a time of 3:27.69.

The following individuals or teams also qualified:
  • 4x800 Relay - Shawn West, Matt Kearney, John Rigby and Zach Braff
  • 110 Meter Hurdles - Jake Klopfenstein
  • Shuttle Hurdle Relay - Grant Mahoney, Erik Frana, Cam Perry, Jake Klopfenstein (fastest qualifying time in the state)

  • Distance Medley Relay - Clayton Chavez, Grant Benton, Shawn West, Wes Shetterly

It's been a great track season, in spite of the weather in April. Congratulations to the Linn-Mar track team, coaches and parents. See you at the State Meet.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1
