Other teams were Tipton, Linn-Mar, Grinnell, Oskaloosa and Williamsburg.
"The girls are right on top of their best times, most are starting to drop time, and we're still building to the peak of the season - we're right where we want to be positioned to hit Conferences and Districts in prime condition," says Hesson. "With each meet, their confidence grows - mentally, they're getting tougher. The team is getting closer and stronger each week too. They encourage and support each other a lot."
