Two Norwalk teams battled the elements of rain and wind on Monday. The girls tennis team picked up a 7-4 dual win at Ames and the boys track and field squad placed second in their home invitational.

Girls tennis wins 7-4

The Warrior girls tennis team improved to 2-1 on the year with their 7-4 victory over the Little Cyclones. Eight Norwalk girls finished the meet with at least one varsity win. Singles winners included Ivanna Sherstiuk, Leah Black, Logan Geisler and Kierdyn Stockwell. Winning in doubles were the teams of Julia Palen and Black, Stockwell and Naomi Lors, and Jacey Crane and Myla Brown.

Boys track places 2nd

In Monday’s Norwalk Boys Track Invitational, ADM topped the field with 150.5 points, followed by Norwalk with 141.5 and Newton 107. Rain cut the meet short by two events as the 4×100 and 4×400 relays were called off.

The Warriors won six events on the night, including double gold for Kaiden Kunze in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Kunze’s 100 time of 10.9 was a new personal best. Tony Anania won the 400-meter dash in 53.22 seconds and Sam Buhrow won the 3,200 in 10:22.19. Norwalk also placed first in two relays. The crew of Kadan Borcherding-Johnson, Gavin Dehmer, Eli Robbins and Kunze won the 4×200 and Tim Koerselman, Brady Schmitz, Cam Thomas and Grant Wallace combined to win the distance medley.

Second-place finishes for the Warriors were AJ Mosqueda in the 400 (personal-best 53.74) and Sam Parker in the 800. Lane Osterloh placed third in the 3,200 and Harrison Tripp was third in the discus.
