Pella swept the titles in the 46th Panther Relays Saturday in Knoxville. The boys race came down to one event as Pella compiled 156 points to Knoxville’s 145. The event was the four-by-200 were Knoxville was disqualified for dropping the baton while leading on the final exchange. Should the Panthers have won that event, they would have edged Pella by one point in the final standings.

Also winning for Pella was the four-by-800 in a new meet record of 8:11.10, the shuttle hurdle relay, and the four-by-400 also in a new meet record of 3:30.88.

Knoxville got two first place finishes from Alex Edwards in the 400 and 800.
