ALTAMONT — The start of each track and field season usually carries a bit of mystery, Iola High head coach Dana Daugharthy admitted.

“You never really know what you are going to have,” he said.

Turns out, Iola has much to be excited about in 2022.

Despite competing against some of the top athletes in southeast Kansas amid miserable weather conditions Thursday, Iola’s thinclads acquitted themselves quite well.

Iola’s boys brought home third place overall, while the girls, who for the most part were able to enter only one athlete in several events, still brought home several quality marks, Daugharthy said.
