Kee girls track team crowns three champions, breaks three records to finish third at UIC Meet

Kendra Cooper, Makayla Walleser win UIC titles - Cooper in record-breaking fashion, Katie Brennan claims own conference crown and anchors 4x400 relay crew to another new school record

On what may have been the most ideal day to compete, weather-wise, for the entire season so far, the Kee girls track team turned in some performances that shined brighter than that Thursday, May 4 sun at the annual Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) Meet hosted by Edgewood-Colesburg High School. Crowning three UIC champions and breaking three school records in the process, the Lady Hawks racked up 99 points to finish third in the final 11-team standings at the meet.

TEAM SCORES
North Fayette Valley 131; South Winneshiek 119; KEE 99; Edgewood-Colesburg 84; Central Elkader 79; Clayton Ridge 64; MFL/MarMac 50; Starmont 33.5; Turkey Valley 27; West Central 12; Postville 3.5

The Lady Hawks had their final invitational meet of the season canceled Monday, May 1 at Edgewood-Colesburg due to cool, wet weather. One final chance to extend this season will take place this Thursday, May 11 at the Hawks’ Class 1A State Qualifying Meet, also to be held at Edgewood-Colesburg High School and details of which can be found in a shaded box elsewhere on the Sports pages in the print edition and e-edtion of The Standard.
