Having had its own Indian Relays canceled by weather last Thursday, April 21, the Waukon boys track team made a quick schedule change to join their female counterparts in hosting a co-ed Indian Relays Tuesday, April 26. That schedule adjustment ended up being the only competition for this past week for the Indians, but they certainly made the most of that opportunity by winning the team title by more than 100 points.

The Waukon boys are next slated to compete at the New Hampton Invitational Monday, May 2 before taking part in the Northeast Iowa Conference Meet at Waverly-Shell Rock Thursday, May 5. They will then prepare for their Class 2A State Qualifying Meet scheduled for Thursday, May 12 at Osage.

For the first time this season, the Kee girls track and field team was able to get its full schedule of outdoor competition completed, making great strides and even some history in getting both of its scheduled meets in the books.

The Waukon girls track team ended up completing an incredibly busy week of competition this past week, participating in three different meets in a matter of four nights. Those three nights on the track and in the field proved fairly successful, as the track Tribe recorded top-five team finishes in all three meets, starting with a fifth-place finish at the Crestwood Invitational in Cresco Tuesday, April 19. The Lady Indians then wrapped up the week with back-to-back nights of competition, winning the Kee Invitational in Lansing they abruptly added to their schedule Thursday, April 21 and then coming in fourth at the North Fayette Valley Invitational in West Union the next night, Friday, April 22.

The Waukon girls track team was finally able to compete outdoors for the first time this season, but had to make some quick adjustments in order to get two competitions this past week. The Lady Indians were able to host their own Early Bird Invitational Tuesday, April 12, winning that eight-team event, but then made a quick schedule change when their New Hampton Invitational scheduled for Thursday, April 14 was canceled due to cold, windy weather - the track Tribe instead getting some team members entered into the Tipton Invitational to end up seventh among 12 teams in that event.

For the first time in four scheduled tries, the Kee girls track team was finally able to compete outdoors this past week, but still was only able to get one of its two scheduled meets in for the week. The Lady Hawks competed at the Waukon Early Bird Invitational Tuesday, April 12 but had their Thursday, April 14 MFL/MarMac Invitational canceled due to cold, windy weather.

Within their first outdoor competition of the season, the Kee girls tallied 80 points to finish fifth in the meet’s field of eight teams. Half of those points came from the Lady Hawks’ four first-place event finishes, with Kee also adding a second-place finish to that mix.

The Waukon boys track team had a second consecutive unfortunately similar week, being able to compete early in the week but having a second scheduled meet canceled due to inclement weather, Thursday, April 14 at New Hampton. The similarity furthered with that early meet being held at Decorah for the second consecutive week, Monday, April 11, with the Indians once again finishing behind Decorah but this time in second place with 165 team points.

The Waukon boys were slated to return to Decorah for a third consecutive Monday, April 18, before hosting their own Indian Relays this Friday, April 22. The Indians will then compete at the Crestwood Invitational Thursday, April 28 and the New Hampton Invitational Monday, May 2 before taking part in the Northeast Iowa Conference Meet at Waverly-Shell Rock Thursday, May 5.
