The Demons were third out of nine in Class A by compiling 114 points, only behind Clear Creek-Amana with 140 and Iowa City Liberty with 169. Just day’s after breaking the school record in the 800m, Lance Sobaski did it again last night, this time in the 1600m. The senior’s first place run of 4:24.51 broke a meet record and the school’s all time best mark of 4:24.6 set in 1975 by Perry Stannard. Brayden Hartman also took home gold hardware by besting the field in the shot put (52’0’’). Hartman was second in the discus (132’5’’), Jacob Miller third in the 100m (11:59), Micah Rees third in the one mile (4:48), Ethan Patterson third in the high jump (5’10’’), and Quinn Wubbena third in the 400m hurdles (58.9).
