Brooke Foreman was in good spirits again Tuesday after helping Cedar Rapids Washington break a 33-year-old school record.

The Linn-Mar Lions were feeling pretty good about themselves as well after nipping Iowa City West, 135-133, for the team championship at the Prairie Relays.

Foreman bounced back from her bitter disappointment Saturday at the Drake Relays, where she finished second in the 400 meter hurdles and broke down in tears. She helped the Warriors set a school record in the distance medley Tuesday, snapping a mark that had stood since 1979 and giving her five school records at Washington.

The distance medley was the oldest school record on the books, but Taylor Vogel, Jasmyne Jones, Foreman and Shannon Gorman wiped it away in 4 minutes, 15.26 seconds.

"That kind of got me all hyped and back in my regular spirit of being all chipper," said Foreman, smiling. "It was a nice way to get myself back on my feet."

The 400 hurdles is Foreman's favorite race and falling short at the Drake Relays as a senior left her emotionally distraught. She's the defending state champion in the event and had trouble dealing with the setback, especially since she's dedicated that race to her late grandfather, Ed Foreman, who died last year.

Foreman felt much better Tuesday, thanking her family, friends and school for helping her get through a tough time. She wanted a victory flag from Drake, but realizes there are more important things.

"I realize it wasn't the flag that mattered, it was all the people that helped me along," she said. "So I really can't complain. It was hard on me at first because that race means everything, but I'm real proud of myself."

Foreman normally runs the 400 hurdles and 100 hurdles, but the Washington coaches did not enter her in those events Tuesday at Prairie. Instead, she ran 400-meter legs on the victorious sprint medley and distance medley and ran the anchor on the 4x100 relay that finished second, working on her speed and finish.

"I'm really glad they gave me a break from hurdles so I can focus on getting my strength back and my mind set," she said. "I needed the break. Emotionally, I needed the break."

Foreman now holds school records in the 100 hurdles, 400 hurdles, shuttle hurdle relay, 4x400 relay and distance medley. "I'm pretty happy," she said.

The Linn-Mar Lions were happy, too. They won the 4x400 relay - the final event of the day - to climb past Iowa City West for the overall team championship.

Kennedy Japenga, Audra Schminke, Maddie Saville and Rachel Perry won the 4x400 relay in 4 minutes, 10.4 seconds, beating North Scott by more than 11 seconds. Perry also captured the 400-meter dash for the Lions in 57.89 seconds, which is the third-fastest time in Class 4A this year according to the IGHSAU website.

Linn-Mar also got victories from Olivia Miller in the 800 and Sydney Johnston in the 3000, along with triumphs in the shuttle hurdle relay and 4x800 relay.

The Xavier Saints claimed the 4x100 relay and 4x200 relay with Audrey Richards, Hannah Rochford, Allison Schwach and Molly Breitbach running both races.

The Prairie Hawks won two field events with Leslie Harder taking the high jump and Rachel Griffin winning the shot put.

Vogel won the 400 hurdles for Washington.
