Waukon girls track 4x100 competes at Drake Relays

The Waukon girls track team’s 4x100 relay crew competed among the state of Iowa elite Friday, April 29 at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, being one of 80 Iowa high school girls teams to qualify in that event. The Waukon crew of seniors Nicole Behrend and Madison Snitker, and juniors Regan Wasson and Lanci Bulman finished seventh out of eight teams in one of 10 preliminary heats in the event, clocking in at 52.18 seconds.

That time placed them 57th overall out of the 80 teams competing, with just the top eight overall teams from Friday’s preliminary round qualifying for the event finals. Dubuque Wahlert posted the top preliminary time of 48.64 seconds, but ended up third in the Saturday, April 30 event finals with a time of 48.72 seconds. Cedar Rapids Jefferson repeated as the event champion in a time of 48.16 seconds.
