OSKALOOSA — Grace Coen has only been enrolled at Newton Senior High School for a couple months, but she can already call herself a conference champion.
 

She earned that right Monday evening in Oskaloosa, where she cruised to a victory at the Little Hawkeye Conference meet. It was her eighth win of the season in nine races.
 

It led the Cardinal girls varsity to a third-place finish out of six teams in the final regular season meet of the season. Grinnell won the meet with 40 points, Pella was second with 50 and Newton was 28 points back with 68.
