Mount Ayr Community’s Riaders opened the 2010 track season by competing at the Bruce Jenner Indoor meet in Lamoni on Saturday, March 27.
Junior Cade Lambson won the shot put with a throw of 49’ 3” and sophomore Dustin Pritchett’s throw of 47’ 6” earned him the silver medal at the meet.
Chad Starlin ran :55.59 to place third in the 400 meter dash and also qualified for the finals in the 200 meter dash.
Braydee Poore cleared 6’ 0” in the high jump which also allowed him to get a second place medal.
“Our guys competed well,” stated head coach Brad Elliott. “We wanted to get an idea of what our 200, 400 and 800 runners could do in a meet situation in order to set up relays for upcoming meets.” “Cade and Dustin threw very well for a first meet and Braydee and Chad had good performances as well,” added coach Elliott. “We had some other good performances as well for a tough indoor meet.” Listed are the placings for the Raiders at the Bruce Jenner meet:
