After getting washed out by rain last year the Bruce Henderson Invitational was finally able to be ran after it was renamed to honor the legendary Atlantic coach last year. The hometown Trojans made the old coach leave with a big smile as they swept the team titles on the night and capped off the evening with wins by both the girls and boys 4x400M Relay teams.

On the girls side the Trojans ended up locking down the title after winning the 4x100M Relay and then put the exclamation point on in the 4x400M. Nicole Middents had a good start, Mariah Huffman kept the pace, Chloe Mullenix built a big lead in the third leg, and Ava Rush left no doubt as the Trojans easily outdistanced the field. Mullenix said they focus in well on that race.

Rush said she feels like the team is peaking at the right time.

Atlantic also got a 1-2 finish from Morgan Botos and Chloe Mullenix in the 400M Hurdles. Botos said it was great to push each other to the end.

Atlantic girls also picked up a win in the 4x100M Relay (Hailey Huffman, Lila Wiederstein, Nicole Middents, Jayci Reed 53.33), 4x800M Relay (Abby Smith, Mariah Huffman, Claire Wiederstein, Claire Pellett 10:30.06), Sprint Medley (Nicole Middents, Jayci Reed, Chloe Mullenix, Ava Rush 1:53.82), and Shuttle Hurdle Relay (Chloe Mullenix, Adler Bruce, Morgon Botos, Jayci Reed). Rush also won the 400M (1:00.08).

On the boys side in the 4x400M Relay Colton Rassmussen, Bennett Whetstone, and Caden Andersen all had strong legs and then Carter Pellett sprinted out extremely fast in the final leg to pass Glenwood and he had enough gas to close out the win. The Trojans had a team lead heading into the race but knew they needed to finish strong to secure the title. Pellett gave his thoughts on that anchor leg.

Fellow senior Caden Andersen enjoyed the chance to run at home on Senior Night.

The Atlantic boys also picked up a 1-2 finish in the High Jump from Jayden Proehl(5-10.00) and Colton Rasmussen (5-08.00). The Trojans also won the 4x800M Relay (Bennett Whetstone, Alex Sonntag, Tanner O’Brien, Caden Andersen (8:30.23) and the Shuttle Hurdle Relay (Jackson McLaren, Colton Rasmussen, Alex Keiser, Easton O’Brien 1:04.49). McLaren also went 2nd in the 110M Hurdles (15.63). Alex Keiser also had a big point gathering third place finish in the Discus.

As the Iowa baseball team makes a run at an NCAA Regional the hitting of outfielder Keaton Anthony will be a key factor. The redshirt sophomore from Georgia leads the Big Ten with a .466 average. He also has 19 RBI, has walked or been hit 15 times while only recording four strikeouts.

That’s Iowa coach Rick Heller who says Anthony hits with power without striking out very often.

Heller says Anthony rarity who can handle fastballs as well as off speed.

The Hawkeyes are 31-11 and return to action Tuesday night at home against Illinois State.

The Utah women’s track team, coached by Webster City native Kyle Kepler, were the HyVee Cup Champions of the Women’s University Division of 113th Drake Relays. Kepler says he knew the sprint medley relay and the distance medley relay would be important in their chances of winning.

Kepler says while he was thrilled to win the coveted title in his home state, he said he was most excited for the group of young women he’s coaching.

Jack Campbell says he will take the same attitude and worth ethic that helped him succeed at Iowa to the Detroit Lions. The Butkus Award winner was taken with the 18th pick in the NFL Draft by the Lions last week.

Campbell says he is ready to get to work.

Campbell was always know for his leadership skills while a Hawkeye

Campbell feels his blue collar approach is a good fit for Detroit.
