DES MOINES Matt Manternach watched the baton fall from Nic Scheelhaase right after he crossed the finish line, or so it appeared.
It looked as if Kingsley-Pierson/Woodbury Central had just set the state meet record, running 7:48.95, in the Class 2A boy s 4x800-meter relay. Monticello just a couple steps behind, running 7:50.39, but a review of the dropped baton was imminent.
I could hear the crowd and then it got really quiet, Manternach said. I didn t hear anything was going to happen at first.
Shortly after, the review determined Scheelhaase had let the baton fall just before crossing the finish line, effectively taking away KP-WC s record and title. Instead, Monticello claimed its third-straight crown in the event, and broke its own record set in 2013.
I felt for their anchor because he really ran a good race, Manternach said. It was a good race for our guys, too, and was just really exciting. We didn t know if we had the potential this year to come and win it.
Tipton s Eric Lenz ran out front from start to finish to capture the state championship in the 3,200-meter run in 9:25.91. Lenz said his fourth-place finish in the two-mile last year and a seventh-place finish (9:28.40) at the Drake Relays last month all aided in his performance on Thursday.
When we hit Drake, I knew that would be one more big step for the state meet, Lenz said. It s definitely a boost of confidence knowing I can run with those guys and had a lot of confidence coming in here.
Clayton Ridge s Ryan Moser redeemed a sixth-place finish in shot put from last year by winning a 2A title in 2015. His throw of 56 feet, 3.5 inches gave Clayton Ridge its first-ever shot put champion.
Tristan Wirfs (Mount Vernon) was second with his toss of 55 feet, 6.5 inches.
I was getting kind of nervous because I knew the guy after me could put some out there too, Moser said. But I ended up throwing my personal best and it was enough to win.
West Branch s Cooper Koenig notched a third-place finish in the long jump with a leap of 22 feet, 10.5 inches.相关的主题文章:
