When it was all said and done, PCM, Pella Christian, and Pleasantville’s track squads all will have athletes compete at the state tournament next week.
Pella Christian will have at least six events competing in the state tournament. Allison Van Gorp competed in both the shot put and discus as she finished with lengths of 39’3” and 134’8”, respectively. Levi Schelhaas topped both the 200 meter and 400 meter dashes. Schelhaas will also be a part of the 4×100 meter relay and the 800 sprint medley relay teams with fellow teammates Peyton Ritzert, Luke Nikkel, Isaac Kacmarynski, and Drew Geetings.
PCM’s Margo Chipps was the star of the night for the Mustangs as she qualified for four different events, three of them in hurdle events. Chipps will run in the 100 meter hurdles, 400 meter hurdles, the shuttle hurdle relay, and the 4×200 meter relay. Chipps will run the 4×200 relay with Delaney Baird, Ryan Bennett, and Chelsea Bird.

Class 1A and 2A wrestling sectionals are today around the state. Knoxville will host a class 2A sectional meet with PCM joining the Panthers along with Bondurant-Farrar, North Polk, Ballard, and Saydel. Bondurant-Farrar may be one of the favorites to win the meet as the Blue Jays have four wrestlers ranked in the top ten according to The Predicament’s latest rankings that came out on Thursday and the Blue Jays are ranked #10 as a team. PCM’s Landon Fenton is 4th in the 145 pound weight class and Colby Tool is 4th at 152 pounds. While Knoxville does not have a wrestler in the top ten, the Panthers have been seeing vast improvement up and down the line up and Coach Doug Hatch hopes to see several of his guys in contention for a spot at districts next Saturday. The top two finishers in each weight class qualify for the district next Saturday which takes place at ADM, and the top two teams will qualify for the regional duals this coming Tuesday at a site to be determined.
