FREDONIA — Iola High’s Mustangs had a good day on the track and in field events at Friday’s 71st Annual Fredonia Relays held by Fredonia High School.
They finished second to Andover Central. They had five gold medal performances to lead the way.
Darin Hutton, back after being out with an illness, claimed the gold medal in the shot put. Kyle Heffern was third.
Hutton was third in the discus with Kykler Thompson placing fifth and Heffern sixth.
“We had a big lead with four events to go but only scored seven points in those events while Andover Central was scoring more,” Smith said.
No official marks or distances were available because of computer problem, Smith said. As soon as he receives the results, the Register will publish official marks.
