Several Mustangs toppled personal records on their way to a 3rd place finish in Class A of their home meet yesterday.

Paytan Schut ran 12:14.51 to take 1st in the 3000 and the 4×2 team of Jayci Vos, Emily Hugen, Ashley Miller, and Ashley VanGorp also topped the podium.

“It was awesome to run at home tonight. It was a nice night to send off our seniors at their last home meet for senior night. We want to thank them for all of their leadership, dedication, and hard work during their time running at PCM and can’t wait to see what they can do the rest of the season,” Head Coach Lindsey Cunningham said.

With a large contingent of Lady Dutch athletes gearing up for nine events in the Drake Relays, many of Pella’s JV runners and jumpers moved to the top of the lineup, and finished with 82 points, good for 5th overall.

“We left the Drake Qualifiers home tonight and ran some fun combinations that we might not normally see,” Dak Rassmussen, head coach of the Lady Dutch said. “The 4×800 girls had a blast running a 4×400 — and running it very well, Megan Kooker had a great first Long Jump, and Mackenna Goemaat ran an outstanding 200 her first time out.”

Pleasantville’s girls finished with 33 team points, as Madyson Thill grabbed second in the 100 meters, the Trojans’ 4×200 team set a personal record, and the combo of Taylor Foley and Abby DeJoode each PR’d in shotput.

Twin Cedars competed in the small school category, and had 3rd place finishes from their sprint medley relay, Maddie Dewitt in long jump, and Cloee Stout in the high jump.
