More records fell and more hardware was handed out during the second session of action Friday at the Iowa high school state track and field championships in Des Moines from Drake Stadium.

While Classes 2A and 3A had the honors earlier in the day, the afternoon and evening session featured athletes from 1A and 4A hitting the blue oval.

Emma Havighurst of Valley has had quite the spring, and that continued with an all-time state record showing in the 100 hurdle prelims. 

Havighurst, a senior, went 13.62 to set the new mark and place her name No. 1 all-time in Iowa.

Anna Hadley, a junior from Pekin, broke the discus mark in winning gold in 1A with a throw of 150-9, which places her third in Iowa.

One of those state records fell in the second event of the session, as the Waukee Northwest girls broke the distance medley relay mark with a time of 3:59.67. That placed them No. 7 in the nation this spring.

A little while later, the Wolves broke the 4x200 relay record, winning gold in a time of 1:38.55.
