MONDAMIN - The Treynor girls and Missouri Valley boys came away with team titles at the West Harrison Track and Field Invitational Thursday.


Missouri Valley posted a team score of 93.5, out-distancing runner-up Logan-Magnolia by 16.5 points. The Panthers took second place in the girls portion of the meet as well, scoring a 97 to Treynor's 108.5.

The Iowa School for the Deaf boys placed seventh with a score of 28, while the ISD girls finished ninth with 10.5 points.

Underwood's Cory Koenig put together an excellent individual performance at the meet, taking first place in three events.

Koenig won the 100-meter dash in a time of 11.50, the 200-meter dash in 24.0 and finished the 400-meter dash in 55.47, more than two full seconds ahead of the next best finishers, to win that event as well.

Koenig's teammate, Brandon Jager, was a double-gold winner at the meet, taking first in the 800 and 1600 meter runs, as was Logan-Magnolia's Nick Hazen, who won the 110-meter high hurdles and 400 meter hurdles.

Iowa Deaf's Edlin Dorn used a leap of 5-foot-10 to easily win the high jump, while teammate Scott Tinkham tied for second place with a jump of 5-foot-8.

Dorn also placed in the 400-meter dash, using a time of 1:00.27 to finish fourth.

The girls side featured a pair of double-event winners in West Harrison's Alisha Willey and Charter Oak-Ute's Kelsey Grindle.

Willey won the high jump with a mark of 4-foot-8 and the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:06.37, while Grindle breezed to the 100-meter hurdles gold in 15.84 and turned in a time of 1:13.13 to win the 400-meter hurdles.

Katie Romey placed in a pair of events for Iowa Deaf, using a toss of 30-feet-1 to finish fourth in the shot put and tying for sixth in the discus with a mark of 87-feet-5.

Also for the Bobcats, Sarah Brown's time of 2:49.94 in the 800-meter run earned her a fourth-place finish.
