The West Central boys’ track and field team finished 11th of 12 teams with 17 team points at the Upper Iowa Conference Indoor Track Meeting on Monday, March 21, at Luther College.
The Blue Devils return two runners who competed at the State Meet a season ago. Half of their State-qualifying shuttle hurdle relay team, Tyson Decker and Collin Kime, returns this season. Three other athletes, seniors Andrew Squires and Trevor Koch along with freshman Taylor Hepperle, who was the best hurdler on the junior high team last season, will compete for the final spot.
