Central’s multi-event athletes finish day one at Doane
CRETE, NEB. — The decathlon and heptathlon are halfway done for a few Central College track and field athletes at the Jim Dutcher Memorial Classic Saturday.
The meet, hosted by Doane University (Neb.), is the first opportunity for Central’s multi-event athletes to complete a women’s heptathlon and men’s decathlon.
“I was pretty happy with what we did,” associate head coach Jim Fuller said. “We had a few really good events, but mostly we were just really solid across the board.”
In the heptathlon, Mary Gray (senior, West Des Moines, Waukee HS) is third with 2,725 points and Kiki Pingel (senior, Pella) is fourth with 2,689 points after four events.
