While no official team results are kept for indoor track meets, if you look at the unofficial points given for the events, then the NFV boy’s had a 14.5-point final advantage over South Winn and Clayton Ridge at the UIC Indoor Track Meet at Luther College in Decorah.

  The TigerHawks excelled in the relays, medaling in all four events. They won the 4x200, 4x400, and 4x800, and earned silver in the 1600 relay.

 Individually, NFV won three events, finished second in three more events, and placed third in another.

Fayette County is considering seeking restitution against Bruening Rock Products for damage done to gravel roads on N and Neon avenues. 

Fayette County Engineer Joel Fantz brought up the matter during his weekly update with the Fayette County Supervisors during their regular meeting on Monday, March 25. 

Fantz started the discussion by noting that he believes the gravel roads have turned a corner as the County has worked the last two weekends to fix the roads. He commended and thanked milk haulers and feed companies for working with the county to minimize gravel-road damage.
