The Greene County High School girls and boys each have one event today, this third and final day of competition at the 2019 Iowa High School Coed State Track & Field Championships at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.

Officials moved today’s start time up to 8 a.m. in an effort to try and beat possible severe weather. The Rams will run shortly after 8 in the 2A girls’ sprint medley relay with Paige Heaning, Maddy Sigler, Makala Kafer, and Brianna Osterson.

The lone boys’ event is the 110 meter high hurdles later this morning with junior Carter Morton in the 2A field. He qualified through Friday’s prelims in 15.55 seconds, the seventh fastest time in the field.

Morton placed third in the 2A boys’ high jump yesterday at 6′ 4″ in the rain. Just three of the field of 24 jumped higher than 6′ 1″. Morton was also ninth in the 400 meter low hurdles in a career best :57.06, also in the rain. He entered the meet at the number 17 qualifier and missed placing top eight by .04.

The Rams were sixteenth in the boys’ 4 x 100 meter relay prelims with Tyler Teeples, Morton, Brent Riley, and Colby Kafer. Kafer was second on the Thursday in the 2A boys’ long jump.

The Greene County girls had three events on Friday with sophomore Brooklynn Olson having the best finish. She was eleventh in the 2A discus throw at 113′ 8″. The 4 x 100 meter relay ran :54.51 in the prelims and were 21st, and the 4 x 200 was disqualified. Sigler, Melanie Doran, Kaker, and Osterson ran both relays.

All three Raccoon Valley Radio stations will have updates on today’s action.
