Mount Vernon runner Evelyn Moeller had a pretty busy Drake Relays last weekend, even if the sophomore didn’t come home with any flags.

Moeller set a school record in the 800, finishing seventh in 2 minutes, 14.09 seconds.

She was 12th in the 1,500 in 4 minutes, 42.58 seconds, another school record.

“She’s been on fire for us,” Mount Vernon coach Kory Swart said. “She just missed a medal. She did a wonderful job and showed she can do some special things this season.”

Moeller also ran legs on the 4×400 team, which placed eighth in 4 minutes 2.95 seconds (with Kiersten Swart, Eastin Whisner and Cali Whitaker).

And she finished in 10th place with the 4×800 team, with Whisner, Swart and Sam Schoff in 9:25.92.

“The 4×400 team making the finals was a huge accomplishment for us,” Swart said. “Running under 4 minutes (3:59.76.in the prelims) is big.”

Mount Vernon senior Libby Dix had the best finish at the Blue Oval, placing fourth in the discus with a throw of 43.10 meters (141-5 feet) to bring home a medal. She was also 19th in the shot put (35 feet, 4.25 inches).

“Those medals are super hard to get, so they mean a lot when you get them,” Swart said.

Lisbon

The Lisbon boys’ track team still has their eyes set on the state track meet in May, when they can defend their two-time Class 1A title in Des Moines.

Racing against all the bigger schools in Iowa at the Drake Relays can be a little rougher.

Tiernan Boots and Gage Holub didn’t reach the finals in the 100 and 110 hurdles, respectively. The Lions 4×100 team was 24th in the preliminaries (with Quinn Coleman, Dakota Clark, Boots and Chase McFarlane) in 43.46 seconds.

The 4×200 relay, with Coleman, Clark, Boots and Daylin Schaefer, finished in 14th in 1:29.51.
