Jenks wins 3 events for Lions
When you talk about the Linn-Mar girls track team, it doesn't take long for Stephanie Jenks' name to come up.
The sensational freshman has done it all this season for the Lions and it was more of the same at Thursday night's Class 4A state qualifying meet at Linn-Mar Stadium.
Jenks' track schedule has been intertwined with her talents as one of the nation's top triathletes. That has limited her appearances for the Lions. For this week and next, however, it is full-time track for Jenks.
She was a triple winner in the eight-team state qualifier Thursday, taking the 800, 1500 and 3000 meter runs. Jenks' effort led Linn-Mar to a second-place finish behind Iowa City High in the team race.
