Four Cyclones strike gold at Trojan Co-Ed Relays

 ATLANTIC -- In a final tune-up for Thursday’s Hawkeye Ten Conference Meet, the Harlan Community boys and girls track teams placed in the top five of Monday’s Atlantic Trojan Co-Ed Relays.
 Both Cyclone squads placed 15 times overall, with the boys winning four events and adding four second-place efforts to finish fourth out of 10 teams with 91 points. The girls, meanwhile, scored just one top-two medal - Chloe Hansen’s gold in the 400 hurdles - and finished fifth out of 12 teams with 55 points.
 Three seniors combined for the Cyclone boys’ four wins. Marcus Klein clocked a new personal-best time of 50.01 in the 400-meter dash and also won the 200 in 22.83. Levi Preston won the 800 in a tight race with Atlantic’s Jaxson Eden while Curtis Schnack took gold in the discus.
 Placing second for HCHS were senior Jon Bieker in the shot put and discus, Klein in the long jump and the 4x800 relay team of Jon Owens, Hunter Manz, Reagan Hansen and Preston, who combined on a season-best time of 8:24.68.
