MONTEZUMA — Lynnville-Sully’s girls captured first and second in both throwing events in the Class B division of Montezuma’s Lew Lundy Relays Tuesday. That put them on the path to winning the Class B championship.
The Hawk girls piled up 175 points for the team title with host Montezuma in second at 125 points. There were seven teams competing in the Class B division.
“Tonight’s meet wasn’t just a competition against the other teams in our class, but also against the elements as strong winds and cooler temperatures were again a factor,” said Darin Arkema, Lynnville-Sully head coach.
“Just like at the Eddyville meet, it was going to come down to our mindset and preparation for our events. The experience and success the girls had at Eddyville I believed helped them for tonight and any other bad weather meets the rest of the season.”
Lizzy Van Manen continues to collect gold medals in the discus. She won Tuesday with a throw of 103 feet, 7 inches with teammate Lysandra James in second at 76-11.
