Cowboys do well in first outdoor track meet

Mason Allen blows out competition in discus

               After weeks of canceled meets, the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Cowboy track team hit the ground running, so-to-speak. On Tuesday, April 19, they headed just down the road for a meet at Belmond-Klemme. And though the conditions were increasingly blustery and cold throughout the afternoon, the Cowboys had a solid showing.

               For overall team results, CGD took fourth place with 88.5 points out of seven teams. They came in behind Lake Mills (153 points), West Hancock (146) and Belmond-Klemme (111).

               The Cowboys racked up a few first place finishes. Sophomore Mason Allen took first in discus by an almost 40 foot margin with a throw of 152-9.0. In the 4×100 meter (runners L. Olson, C. State, N. Foss

A. Harrington) and 4×200 meter (runners Jacob Ingebritson, State, Foss, Harrington) relays the team took first place as well. Junior Nevan Foss took second in the high jump with 5-10. The 4×110 meter shuttle hurdle relay team also came in second with a 1:07.62 finish. The team came in second in the 800 medley relay (runners Olson, Diego Gonzalez, Ingebritson, Rigo Bobadilla).
