Highest Indian finish ...
Waukon girls track senior Madison Snitker (center) leans for the finish line in a close race in the 200 meter dash at the track Tribe’s own Indian Relays home invitational Tuesday, April 26. Snitker recorded the highest Indian event placewinning at the meet with her tie for second place with Decorah’s Kalle Solberg (far right in above photo) in that 200 meter dash event in a time of 26.58 seconds. Although this was the first time Snitker did not win the 200 meter dash this season, it took a NCAA Division I track and field recruit to end her winning streak, as Central Elkader senior Haley Schroeder (far left in the above photo), who will be competing for the University of Iowa women’s track and field team next year, edged out the 200 meter win in 26.30 seconds.
