Melcher-Dallas’ Chase Wetterling and Pleasantville’s boys’ track and field team all had superb performances on a less-than-ideal night for a state qualifying meet on Thursday. Wetterling, a senior from Melcher-Dallas, will be running the 100 meter dash inside of Drake Stadium next week for Class 1A. The Trojans, as they’ve done all year, dominated a majority of the relay races, and they know for sure they’ll be competing in the 4 x 100, 200, and 400 meter relays. Max Johnson also got in with his impressive showing in the 800 meter run. Teams around the state will know for sure what qualified overall after all meets have been reported and times have been calculated. The state meet is at Drake Stadium next Thursday through Saturday. KNIA/KRLS Sports will be there live with up-to-the-minute updates as our athletes chase after state championships.
