The South Hamilton girls got the chance to shine in front of the home crowd here Tuesday night at the Hawkette Relays.

Roland-Story was able to push ahead for team gold, finishing just ahead of the host school. Northwood-Kensett, Collins-Maxwell, Des Moines Christian and Clarion-Goldfield/Dows rounded out the standings.

Daytona Ferrie and Kendra Hoversten made it a clean sweep of the throwing events for the Hawks, as Ferrie captured the discus and Hoversten the shot put.

Ferrie had a throw of 99-8 to hold off Hoversten, as she placed second. Hoversten’s launch of 32-10 won her the shot put.

Sydnee Flaugh, Makena Galetich, Tanna Thompson and Ashlyn Erickson cruised a gold in the sprint medley relay, clocking a time of 2:00.64 to win the event by almost three seconds.

In the final event of the night, the 4×400 relay of Brooklyn Doolittle, Galetich, Erickson and Thompson posted a 4:39.14 to pick up first place over Des Moines Christian.

Thompson was the 400 runner-up, with Kayley Zanker scoring silver in the 3,000. The 4×100, 4×200, 4×800 and distance medley relays all added second place finishes.
