ALTAMONT — Iola High’s Mustangs kicked off the 2013 track and field season in fine fashion Thursday, taking second place among 10 schools at the Labette County Invitational.
“We would have had the first place trophy if we had a smarter coach,” head coach Marv Smith said afterward.
How so?
Iola narrowly lost the boys championship to Labette County, finishing a scant 4.5 points behind (100.5 to 96).
Had Coach Smith entered Terrill Smith in the varsity pole vault, Iola would have taken the overall gold.
