Riding High on the individual success of their teammate, Zach Buchheit, at the Drake Relays, the remainder of the Pella High boys track and field squad turned in five gold medals Thursday night to win at Grinnell.  The Knoxville boys were close behind, using a pair of top-notch relay finishes to finish third with 75 points, and Pella Christian took 8th place in the team standings with 30 points.  

The Little Dutch earned gold from Austin Fuller in the 100 Meters, Kenny DuPre in the 110 Hurdles and Taylor Cox in the 400 Hurdles; as well as the Shuttle Hurdle and 4×800 Meter Relays.  Knoxville pulled a pair of golds out of the 4×200 and 4×400 Meter Relay teams, while highlights for Pella Christian included another sweep of the jumping events for Derek Van Kooten.
