RVC meet ends indoor season for Panthers

     Monticello came away with three championships and two runner-up finishes in the River Valley Conference Indoor Girls Track and Field Meet Thursday, March 23 at the University of Dubuque.

     It was the last of three indoor meets the Panthers had to open their season, and easily the best, with 10 season-best performances.

     “It was a great way to close out this year’s indoor season,” Monticello coach Darren Reade said.

     Winning for the Panthers were Paige Holub in the 800, with a time of 2:27.77; The 4x800 team of Taylor McDonald, Gabrielle Steiner, Jordyn Patterson and Paige Holub in 10:09.24; and Gabby Guilford in the high jump, 5-2.

     Finishing second were Jordyn Patterson in the 1,500 and the 4x400 relay team, with the same foursome that was in the 4x800.

     “Coach (Vallerie) Lynn and I had a few individuals we were really keeping an eye on, and they all surpassed our expectations,” Reade said. “Emily Schlarmann was one of those who really ran two competitive races for the team. Gabby Guilford was also one who we were very impressed with. She really is a talented athlete, and it will be fun to watch her compete outdoors.”

     Earlier, the Panthers competed in the Wartburg Indoor meet March 12 in Waverly, and then the University of Dubuque Indoor Classic March 16. In both cases, the Panthers were missing several individuals due to spring break.

     At Wartburg, Paige Holub won the 800 and finished fourth in the 1,500.

     “Anna Loes missed the 55-meter finals by .02, and Leah Holub only missed it by .08 against a pretty talented field,” Reade said. “Paige had a good start to her final high school season, running her fastest 1,500 of her career for this time of year.”

     In the UD Classic, the Panthers’ highest finishes were a sixth for Olivia Kremer in the 800, sixth for the 4x800 team, and seventh by Paige Holub in the 1,500.

     “Kaylee Stephen ran a nice hurdle race, only missing the finals by .29,” the coach said. “Megan Mahoney is working through her technique with the shot put, and in the process, she threw a foot further than she did at Wartburg.”
