Area track and field athletes make All-State lists

At the conclusion of the 2022 track and field season, a pair of ‘All-State’ track squads have been selected by both the Des Moines Register and the Iowa Association of Track Coaches and the Des Moines Register. Both teams had plenty of local athletes represented.

The area had plenty of athletes on the IATC squads. To make those teams you had to finish Top-2 in your class in your respective event. If athletes were Top-4 in all classes, they were put on the ‘Elite Team.’

Unsurprisingly, Class 2A state girls champion Mid-Prairie was well-represented on the list, as was Class 1A boys champion New London. The Washington boys, Mt. Pleasant girls and Pekin girls were also honored.

The Des Moines Register All-State teams were made up of 12 athletes who impressed during the 2022 state meet. Those athletes were selected on an overall landscape instead of event-by-event.

Elijah Morris of Washington and Kade Benjamin of New London made the Class 3A and 1A squad’s respectively on the boys’ side. For girls, Mt. Pleasant’s Jadan Brumbaugh and Mid-Prairie’s Mitzi Evans and Danielle Hostetler were all selected.
