     Two big meets, two wins.

     The Monticello High School girls track and field team continued its success in Eastern Iowa meets this season, scoring victories in the Anamosa and Tipton meets April 11 and 13, respectively.

     The win at Anamosa was particularly dominant; the Panthers totaled 160 points while winning six events and taking second in four others. Anamosa was the runner-up, with 116.

     “Our focus was like any other night; compete to the best of your ability and be better today than you were yesterday,” Monticello coach Darren Reade said.

     Winning were Anna Loes in the 200-meter dash (she also was second in the 100), Taylor McDonald in the 400, Corinne Gadient in the 800 (with teammate Paige Holub second), and the 4x400, 4x800 and 4x100 weight person relays.

     Gabrielle Steiner was second in the 3,000, and the distance medley relay also was second.

     “Corinne and Paige ran fantastic open 800 times,” Reade said.

     Gabrielle Steiner and Rachel Larabee ran season best times in the 1,500; and the shuttle hurdle team had a career best time.

     On April 13 at Tipton, the final result was closer, but the Panthers prevailed again, with 101 points to Mount Vernon’s 91.

     Winners included Corinne Gadient in the 800 and the 4x800 team.

     “The 4x800 and 4x400 teams each improved their times by about two seconds, which improves their chances at (making) the Drake Relays, and we tentatively have the 4x100 qualified as well,” the coach said, “knocking about two seconds off their season best.

     “Corinne ran a very smart 800 as well. She had a game plan, as she knew she was running against the Hostetler sisters from Mid-Prairie. She went out and executed it perfectly.”

     Monticello also competed in a junior varsity meet at Western Dubuque April 10, and finished in a tie for second out of four teams.

     Emily Schlarmann won both the 1,500 and the high jump, Keeley Anderson won the 400 hurdles, and Lizzie Petersen won the 3,000. Monticello also won the distance medley and 4x200 at WD.
