Today we continue to count down the top ten moments of the 2017-2018 school year at Central College with number eight.
Exceeding all external expectations, the Dutch men’s track and field team won the program’s 18th Iowa Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championship on May 12th at Ron and Joyce Schipper Stadium in Pella.
With 144 points, Central was well in front of second place Dubuque, beating the Spartans by 28 points for the crown.
The Dutch men had individual Iowa Conference championships by Nathan Fitzgerald in the discus, Ryan Kruse in the javelin, eventual national champion Mark Fairley in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, as well as Fairley in the 1,500-meter run, the 4×800 relay team and Will Daniels in the high jump.
Central has won three of the last four league titles.
