DES MOINES — It was impossible to stay cool.
But when the typical early-race energy rush captivated many of her competitors, Moran Lonning did remain calm and collected.
Lonning worked her way through the field, then won the girls’ Class 3A 3,000-meter run convincingly at the state track meet Thursday at Drake Stadium.
The sophomore from Decorah was clocked in 10:40.93, nearly 12 seconds ahead of the pack.
“Everyone starts out sprinting, but you know, there were still seven laps left,” Lonning said.
It helped that a familiar face was toward the back of the …

DES MOINES — Lisbon freshman Conner Smock and Tipton senior Eric Thien gave Eastern Iowa a small-school sweep in the 3,200-meter run Thursday at the state track meet.
Smock took the lead on the fifth lap and held on to win the Class 1A title in 9 minutes, 47.25 seconds. Thien led more than six laps of the eight-lap event to win the Class 2A crown in 9:33.34.
Thien won the Class 2A state cross-country title last fall, a feat that was on his mind during the race.
“I was like, ‘Senior year, …

DES MOINES — Marion senior Drew Clark needed only one launch to cement his name into the Class 3A record book.
Clark, who will attend Iowa on a football scholarship, won the discus on his first throw of 161 feet, 1 inch last night at Drake Stadium. Clark held off several late challengers to claim the state title.
“That’s probably been the most consistent I’ve been, this week and the week before,” Clark said. “I’m hitting around 160 every meet.
“I know there’s a lot of guys out there that can throw farther, …

DES MOINES — Eastern Iowa track rivalries extended to Drake Stadium Thursday.
When Iowa City West junior Frank Canady and Cedar Rapids Washington senior Lewi Manirumva do battle, the results are always close. The Class 4A state 3,200-meter run was no different.
Canady, an Iowa City West junior, edged Manirumva, a Cedar Rapids Washington senior, in a sprint for second place. Canady, who lost to Manirumva last week at the district meet, finished in 9 minutes, 23.34 seconds, almost 1 second ahead of Manirumva, who stumbled about 5 meters from the finish …

DES MOINES — It was impossible to stay cool.

Lonning worked her way through the field, then won the girls’ Class 3A 3,000-meter run convincingly at the state track meet Thursday at Drake Stadium.

DES MOINES — How did that feel? Euphoric? Not exactly.
“Painful,” said Jessica Yagla.
No pain, no gain.
Yagla anchored Iowa City High to a come-from-behind victory in the girls’ Class 4A 3,200-meter relay at the state track meet Thursday at Drake Stadium. It helped vault the Little Hawks into the 4A lead after Day 1.
“My legs turned numb, but I worked as hard as I could,” Yagla said. “I kept my eye on (Valley anchor Emily Klemme). I didn’t even hear the crowd. I just kept going.”
The Little Hawks, who were led …
