Van Roekel, Zeiser end track careers with state titles

DES MOINES — Prairie City-Monroe senior Jordan Van Roekel let out a celebratory yell. Collins-Maxwell-Baxter senior Josh Zeiser quietly walked to the infield.

At that point, it didn’t matter how they reacted. The only thing that mattered is they had each just won a state championship.

Van Roekel won his second-straight Class 2A 400-meter hurdles championship on Friday while Zeiser claimed the 2A 110 hurdles to lead a busy weekend for Jasper County schools at Drake Stadium in Des Moines. The PCM and CMB boys teams tied for seventh place with 28 points each.
