This is the time of year when a young athlete starts thinking about the Drake Relays.  Oskaloosa’s boys’ track team could send three relay teams to the Relays based on Tuesday’s (4/16) results at Mid-Prairie in Wellman.  The Indians’ distance medley team of Aaron Blom, Casey Hill, Brayden VanKampen and Carter Huyser won in a time of 3:37.69 seconds—which is the top time in Iowa Class 3A track this season. Oskaloosa’s 4 by 400 relay team of Brayden VanKampen, Iszac Schultz, Aaron Blom and Carter Huyser ran a season best 3:27.31, which is second best in the state in Class 3A.  And Osky’s 4 by 100 relay team of Aaron Blom, Reed Brown, Brayden VanKampen and Casey Hill reduced their time to 44.93 seconds, which Indians Coach Mike Sterner says should qualify them for the Drake Relays.  Those Drake Relays are next week in Des Moines.  The Indians boys’ track team will run again Thursday (4/18) at Newton.
