The senior kickstarted her day with a bronze medal in the shot put and then sprinkled in a dose of gold in the discus to supply the Hawks with 16 of their 88 team points en route to a fourth-place team finish.

“I’m pleased with Lily,” South Hamilton head coach Dan Brodie said. “Her distances (98 feet in the discus, 30 feet, 21⁄4 inches in the shot put) aren’t maybe where she wants them to be yet, but her form is really good. If she gets a good night, she’s going to rip off some really good things.”

South Hamilton accumulated five medals and finished just outside the top three on five other occasions in a meet that was dominated by host Gilbert (212 points). Roland-Story (133) and Ballard (106) also finished in front of the Hawks.

“It was just good getting out on the track and competing,” Brodie said. “A lot of it for us is just figuring out what we have in what events.”

While Brodie continues to see where the pieces fit, his veterans bolstered the group. After a lackluster outdoor opener last week in Jefferson, Hailey Cavan returned to form in the 100-meter hurdles with a runner-up showing in 17.36 seconds. She also anchored the 2018 state-qualifying shuttle hurdle relay quartet to third in 1:14.33.

“Hailey had a nice comeback in the 100 hurdles,” Brodie said. “She didn’t have her best time (last week) and was disappointed, but she had a really good week of practice.”

Emily Greenfield, Bridgit Schlafke and Rylee Woodall completed the shuttle hurdle relay. The same foursome won the Heart of Iowa Conference title a season ago.

The Hawks’ 4×800 of Anna Lammers, Breanne Diersen, Sierra Flores and Paige Seaton was also third in a time of 12:33.43.
