“We had kind of planned that when we found out we were going to be here together, just every two laps switching, switching leading so not one of us had to do too much and we could both just focus on running fast together.

“I ran against him a lot during cross country, so we had a good relationship going into this, so it's pretty easy just to run fast together.”

Grass won the 3200m with a meet record 9:49.36.

Missouri Valley’s Jaden Hill was 2nd in the high jump with a height of 5’10”and he helped his Sprint Med team, along with Anthony Wedel, Owen Gute, & Ryder O’Dowd, get the win with at time of 1:38.68.

“I haven't practiced (high jump) much at school. That was really my first time doing it. Just was just going to wing it, see if I could do it. I mean, this came for a lot from basketball, I’ll say.”

Hill says he’s having a good time competing in track for the first time this season.

“Having fun, hanging out with my friends. First time doing track, just wanted to do something for fun.”
