The Central girls track and field team continued to post season and personal bests last week in meets at Waukon and MFL MarMac.
The April 28 Waukon Girls Indian Relays had one of the “nicer Waukon meets weather wise in quite a few years,” said coach Martha Bauder.
The Warriors came home with five personal records: Payton Stannard in the 100 meter hurdles and 400 meter split, Alivia Wiley in the 100 meter hurdles and Lilly Becwar and Katalina Dunlap in the 200 meter dash.
Season best marks were achieved by the JV sprint medley relay of Mya Gregerson, Kaylie Wilson, Wiley and Becwar; the 4x400 relay of Blair Scherf, Stannard, Wiley and Carlie Bergan; and Stannard in the 100 hurdles.
Layla Embretson medaled in the discus and Scherf in the 800 meter run.

The Warriors headed to Monona on April 30 for the MFL MarMac Girls Invitational. They totaled 94 points, trailing only North Fayette Valley’s 110 in the team rankings.
“Even though we try not to focus on the weather all the time during track and field season, we all know—from parents to fans to coaches and to the athletes—that weather often sets the tone for our enthusiasm for the meet. While things started pretty good, it did end up getting windy and chilly, but our girls moved through the quick meet with good competitiveness and finished up in second place as a team along with eight PRs and one season best mark,” according to Bauder.
