MT. VERNON — The Tipton and North Cedar boy’s track and field teams competed at the annual River Valley Conference indoor track and field meet last Thursday.  The meet, held at Cornell College in Mt.

The Knights won one event, the 200-meter dash.  Greg Hansen won the event in a time of 23.933, beating out Northeast Goose Lake’s Braeden Hoyer by the narrowest of margins as Hoyer finished the race in a time of 23.940.

In field events, the Knights got top-10 finishes from Aaron Woodward and Greg Hansen.  Woodward placed third in the shot put with a best throw of 46-feet, 2-inches.  He was less than three inches away from second place.  Iowa City Regina’s Jared Brinkman won the event with a throw of 59-7.  Hansen placed 7th in the high jump with a best jump of 6-feet, no inches.  Braeden Hoyer from Northeast Goose Lake won the event with a best jump of 6-feet, 8-inches.
