HIGH SCHOOL TRACK AND FIELD: Carlson finishes fourth, Brownlee takes runner-up

After finishing as the state runner-up last year, and already breaking a school record this year, Forest City’s Dakota Carlson finished fourth in yesterday’s high jump competition at the Drake Relays in Des Moines. Carlson cleared 6′ 7″ without a miss, then missed three times at 6′ 9″. The winner was senior Jacob Kieler from Cedar Falls, who cleared 6′ 10.”

Clear Lake sophomore Reese Brownlee finished runner-up in the girls long jump competition with a jump of 18′ 3.25″. Brownlee was a state championship for the Lions at the state meet last May in the same discipline. Friday morning, she finished 29th in the 100m and will also run the 400m and the 4×100 for the Lions later this weekend.
