Havighurst set a new state and Drake Relays record in the 100 hurdles, going 13.82 to capture gold in the event.

Easton Moon, North Polk boys tennis

Moon, a junior, has picked up 15 wins already this tennis season as he looks to make a run at a state title last this year.

Morton became just the second girl to win three consecutive shot put titles at the Drake Relays, as she was also the discus runner-up.

Quentin Nauman, Western Dubuque boys track and field

Landon Prince, Clear Creek-Amana boys track and field

Prince was the king of the throwing events at the Drake Relays, capturing both shot put and discus golds. They were the first meet titles in school history, as he became just the sixth boys to sweep the events.

Abi Roberts, Linn-Mar girls soccer

Roberts became the school’s career leader in goals, netting her 75th for her career in a 10-0 victory over Cedar Rapids Washington.
