FORT MADISON – The 2024 Timm Lamb relays proved to be a good test run for two more home meets this year.
The Lady Hounds took home three first-place finishes with sophomore Avery Rump involved in all three.
Rump won her distance events of the 1500 and 3000-meter runs. She clocked a 5:02.78 in the 1500 and a 10:52.19 in the 3000, and then anchored the 800-leg of the distance medley team.
That team of Emma Kern, Olivia Buckner, Mara Smith, and Rump finished with a time of 4:34.74 to take the title
“I’m really excited this year because I’ve been running faster times at this time of the year. I’m hoping to see even more improvement,” Rump said.
She said she’s enjoying running more in home meets this year.
“It's really nice. It’s good to have my family come down and my friends. Home is right here so I can get to bed early. I used to run here when I was little.”
Fort Madison Head Coach Brian Mendez said the Lady Hounds again have a good mix of runners.
“We’ve got some decent speed which we’ve been lacking and a very solid distance crew that is more than carrying their weight. But you can’t put together relays without sprinters and we got some of that this year, so it’s kinda fun.”
Fort Madison hasn’t had a competitor this year in the field events, but Mendez said he’s hoping to move some younger kids into some field events to learn it and find out who enjoys it.
He said the three home meets should be fruitful.
“We like to run at home so that should prove an advantage, but it’s so much work. You go to these other well-run events at Mt. Pleasant and Washington, it’s because they have awesome help and I don’t think it’s going to be long before we’re there, too,” he said.
Sophomore Mara Smith captured second in the 800-meter run with a 2:27.05 followed by Addison Rump who earned 4th at 2:37.47.
The Lady Hounds' 4x800 relay team of Paetyn Wiegand, Smith, MaKayla Schinstock, and Addison Rump took 2nd place with a 10:25.23. Brylie Lorence got the other 2nd place finish with a 37’11” throw in the shotput. She had a 4th place finish in the discus at 101’8”.
Central Lee’s Gabby Maynes had a nice showing in the open 400 with a 1:10.81, good enough for 4th in the Class B division. The Hawks' Aubrey Weber was second in the B division in the discuss with a spin of 88’5”.
