Glenwood girls, boys dominate at Southern Division meet

The Glenwood girls and boys combined to win 17 events at the Hawkeye 10 Conference Southern Division Meet in Glenwood last Tuesday.

The Ram girls won 11 gold medals and the boys tallied six top finishes. With the meet allowing an unlimited number of entries for each event, team scores were not kept.

Glenwood’s girls won five of the six relays – they placed second in the distance medley relay – and individual gold medals from Carlie Clemmer in the 100-meters and the 400-meter hurdles, Zoie Carda in the 100-meter dash, Brooklyn Schultz in the 400-meters and Abi Hiller in the discus.

“Overall a very successful night for our girls,” said Glenwood girls coach Jordan Bueltel. “Lots of great efforts and we competed really well.  Clarinda really had a good night and really gave us a good run in the team race.  Just shows us that there is lots of talent in the Hawkeye 10 and we are going to have to continue to get better if we hope to compete for the conference at the end of the season.”

Leading the Rams great individual efforts, Brooklyn Schultz winning and setting a personal record in the 400-meter and also running on two winning relays, 4x800-meters and 4x400-meters.  

In addition to winning the two open hurdle events, Clemmer anchored the shuttle hurdle relay to a win.      

“Really proud of the way this team competed and look forward to seeing what they can accomplish as the season progresses,” Bueltel said.

Glenwood boys coach Mark Starner felt his team had a strong showing for just its second outdoor meet of the season.

“We are continuing to improve and a lot of younger athletes are continuing to develop in their events and provide us with some quality efforts that continue to help us score points,” Starner said. “Meets are going to start getting a little more competitive and  we’re going to have all of our athletes continue to step it up and to continue to compete in every opportunity.  The coaching staff is very pleased with our efforts and looking forward to seeing our kids develop and improve.”

The Ram boys notched golds in the 4x100-meter, 4x200-meter, 4x800-meter and shuttle hurdle relays. Bryant Keller (1,600-meters) and Anthony Driscoll-Lee (110-meter hurdles) both picked up individual wins.

Keller had a big meet for the Rams. The junior ran on the gold medal winning 4x800-meter relay and then won both the 1,600 and 800 in personal best times.

Driscoll-Lee had three season best performances on the night.  In addition to winning the 110-meter hurdles, the senior ran on the shuttle hurdle relay (first) and finished third in the long jump with a personal best jump.

The Rams had a big scoring night in the throwing events. Reagan Skarnulis was second in the shot and Logyn Eckheart was second in discus and third in shot put.  Dylan Wyatt added a fifth place medal in the discus.   

“Our throwers are continuing to develop and score a lot of points for us,” Starner said.
