NFV girls surprise at UIC Indoor

The NFV girl’s track team surprised some people at the UIC Indoor Track Meet Friday at Luther College in Decorah. Knowledgeable people in track circles knew the girls had some talent, but were young and without a   veteran speedster.

However, some youngsters came through, some vets stepped up and the TigerHawk gals outperformed every team but one in the UIC.

  While no official team scores are kept in the indoor season, Kee was the unofficial winner with 99 points. NFV amassed 89.5 points to edge Central/Elkader who earned 86 points; South Winn was a distant fourth with 78 points.
