Linn-Mar's Max Thrune and Xavier's Luke Winker shared medalist honors with even-par 36s, but the Lions topped the Saints by two strokes in a 3-team MVC meet Thursday at Hunters Ridge.
The Lions finished with a 151, two shots better than the Saints. Waterloo West was third at 189.
Both the Lions and the Saints got strong play. Twelve of the 14 golfers who competed for the Metro rivals shot 40 or lower.
NEWTON - Paige Broghammer was a triple-winner for the Linn-Mar swimming team Tuesday in a 105-65 loss to Newton in the season opener at Newton.
Broghammer captured the 200 IM and tied for first place in the 100 breaststroke. She also swam on the triumphant medley relay with Brianna Bisgard, Madison Renz and Hannah Gardner.
Grace Ahlers won the 500 freestyle for Linn-Mar.
Stephanie Jenks is a cover girl.
The distance star from Linn-Mar High School is featured in the new edition of Running Times, a magazine devoted to running and everything that goes with it.
Jenks is pictured on the cover of the magazine and is the subject of a two-page article, complete with four more pictures and her training log for a typical week.
The title of the article is "A Balanced Approach," and explains how Jenks used the triathlon to help further her running career. Jenks won the silver medal in the triathlon at the Junior Olympics in China last summer, but she's put the triathlon aside to focus on running.

The standard equipment for the Linn-Mar football team this year includes a helmet, shoulder pads and a chip on their shoulder.
The Lions finished with a 9-2 record last season and reached the second round of the Class 4A playoffs, but almost all of the starters graduated and there are few recognizable "names" on the squad this year.
The expectations for this year's club might be fairly modest, at least among some fans and the general public, but the "no-name" Lions are determined to make a name for themselves.
"They've got a little chip on their shoulder," Coach Bob Forsyth said Wednesday before practice. "I hope they're hungry to make a name for themselves. This is their football team now.
"There was a lot of talk about what a great senior class we had last year, which we did," he said. "But that grates on you a little bit. They want to prove themselves.
"That's how we're coaching them and they're really responding well. They're pretty smart kids. So we're going to try and figure out what we can do to win."

SILVIS, Ill. - Two days, two demanding courses, two outstanding rounds of golf.
That's been the story this week for Cedar Rapids Washington junior Frank Lindwall, who fired a 3-under-par 68 Tuesday and claimed medalist honors at the Washington Warrior Invitational at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill.
Lindwall nipped Tripp Kinney of Waukee by one shot Tuesday, just a day after the two premier golfers shared medalist honors with 3-under 69's in the Linn-Mar Invitational at Hunters Ridge.
Waukee won the team championship Tuesday at 294. Dowling took second place, followed by Linn-Mar, Washington and Xavier.
Max Thrune and Brent Larson of Linn-Mar tied for eighth at 5-over 76.
