The Indian track girls hosted a near Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) Meet, as all teams but Waverly-Shell Rock visited Waukon Tuesday, April 25 for the Indian Relays. The track Tribe was a fairly gracious host, finishing fifth in the final seven-team standings with 70 points fueled by just a pair of Indian event victories.
The Indians were also scheduled to compete at the MFL/MarMac Invitational Thursday, April 27 and at the Edgewood-Colesburg Invitational Monday, May 1 but had both of those meets canceled due to cold and rainy weather. The track Tribe will now battle for conference supremacy at the Northeast Iowa Conference Meet to be hosted by Waverly-Shell Rock Thursday, May 4. The Lady Indians will then prepare for their Class 2A State Qualifying Meet to be held at North Fayette Valley in West Union Thursday, May 11, details of which can be found in a shaded box on this week’s Sports pages in the print edition and e-edition of The Standard.
