Jabe Gonder and Logan Bracey fired 1-under-par 35's Thursday to share medalist honors and lead the Washington Warriors to first place in a Mississippi Valley Conference triangular meet at Gardner Golf Course.
The Warriors finished with 143 shots, topping Linn-Mar (153) and Iowa City High (165).
Max Thrune shot an even-par 36 to pace Linn-Mar. Alex Slattery had a 36 for Washington.
DUBUQUE - Paige Broghammer was a triple-winner Thursday night as the Linn-Mar Lions topped Wahlert, 111-75, in a Mississippi Valley Conference girls swimming meet in Dubuque.
Broghammer won the 200 IM and 100 breaststroke and swam on the victorious 200 freestyle relay.
Madison Renz took the 50 free for Linn-Mar and Katie Culver captured the diving. Wahlert won seven of 12 events, but the Lions prevailed on superior depth.
The Kennedy Cougars climbed three spots to No. 4 in the new Class 5A volleyball rankings Thursday by the IGHSAU.
Kennedy has an 8-3 record and trails Cedar Falls, Bettendorf and Ankeny Centennial in the poll.
Linn-Mar jumped one notch to No. 7 in the 5A rankings. Prairie fell five spots to No. 10.
The Marion Indians stayed No. 2 in Class 4A behind West Delaware.
Tysen VanDraska was sorely disappointed when he finished seventh at the Class 4A state cross country meet last fall.
"I kind of choked a little bit," he claimed Thursday.
He does not plan to let it happen again.
VanDraska captured top honors and led Cedar Rapids Prairie to the team championship Thursday at the annual Cedar Rapids Invitational at Noelridge Park.
VanDraska won the 5K outing in 16 minutes, 7.68 seconds, edging Brandon Cooley of Bettendorf by 1.5 seconds in a tight race throughout. Prairie ran away with the team championship with 31 points with Jake Moore finishing fourth, Chris Oehlert sixth and Cam Steffens seventh.
VanDraska may have been a little harsh on himself by claiming he "choked a little bit" at the state meet, but he's always set high standards for himself as a distance runner.

Linn-Mar grad David Parry has fooled the experts again.
The Indianapolis Colts have named Parry their starting defensive tackle heading into the 2015 season after selecting him in the fifth round of this year's draft.
Parry was considered too small to play major college football coming out of high school and did not get scholarship offers from Iowa or Iowa State. He began his college career at Stanford as a walk-on and became a major contributor for the Pac-10 power on the defensive line.
Some football experts thought Parry was too short at 6-foot-2 to be a defensive lineman in the NFL, but now he's cracked the starting lineup as a rookie and ready to prove the experts wrong again.
