The Oskaloosa Indians girls track team was represented in a total of 6 events at the state track and field meet in Des Moines over the weekend.

Senior Tierney Carter capped off her 4th consecutive appearance at state with memorable results. On Thursday, she placed 4th in the 3A girls 400m with a time of 57.29. Then on Friday, she secured her second medal by placing 3rd in the girls 400m hurdles, putting up a personal record time of 1:03.86. Carter would wrap up the weekend on Saturday by posting another PR, this time in the girls 800m, with a time of 2:16.18, which was good for 10th place.

Junior Delaney Harbour was the only other member of the Indians to compete in an individual event. In the 3A girls long jump, she posted a 15-11.00, which placed 15th.

Two Oskaloosa relay teams were also in action at the Blue Oval. On Friday, their 800m SMR team of Monica Hundley, Vivian Bolibaugh, Delaney Harbour, and Tierney Carter ran to a 23rd place finish with a time of 1:50.38. On Saturday, their distance medley relay team of Monica Hundley, Alyssa Sheets, Delaney Harbour, and Kennedy Wright took 12th place with a time of 4:30.20.

Tierney Carter departs the OHS Track program as one of the more decorated runners it has produced in recent years, but the Indians will look to return several key contributors to next year’s team.
