Denison-Schleswig Monarchs Track And Field
/Fink qualifies for state meet while again setting school record
Just one week after setting a school record that had stood for 27 years, the Denison-Schleswig Monarch’s Jake Fink bested his effort by nearly a second on Thursday, May 9, running the race in 54.99 and qualified for the state meet in the 400-meter hurdles.
The state meet will take place this Thursday through Saturday at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.
The state qualifying meet took place in Atlantic.
On May 2 at the Hawkeye-10 Conference meet, Fink had eclipsed the 27-year-old school record, running the 400-meter hurdles in 55.91.
Anthony Arambula turned in a fourth-place performance in the long jump at Thursday’s qualifying meet, leaping 20-4. Monarch Head Coach Willie Baughman said it will be close with Arambula’s performance, whether he qualified for state, and that he would find out more about that on Friday.
