Waukon boys track team gets 2021 season underway with runner-up finish at Sumner-Fredericksburg, third-place result at own Early Bird
Out-races the rest ... Waukon boys track sophomore Nathan O’Neill shows his early-season determination in out-racing the pair of competitors behind him to win the 3200 meter run at the Indians’ own Early Bird Invitational Thursday, April 1. O’Neill kept pace with both those other competitors the entire race before kicking into a final finishing gear down the homestretch to pass both and edge them out for the win by less than half a second, in 11:00.62.
