Linn-Mar, Marion boys eye state track crowns

Fri - 11 May Written by Jim Ecker

The city of Marion could become the state capital for boys track in Iowa next week.

The Linn-Mar Lions and Marion Indians will be taking strong contingents to the state track meet in Des Moines, with the Lions among the favorites in Class 4A and the surging Indians among the top picks in Class 3A.

Linn-Mar has firepower at the top of its lineup and is seeded first or second in seven events. Marion has impressive depth, having qualified in 15 of 18 events, giving the Indians a good chance of finishing near the top of the team standings.

"I would say if we're not in the top two or three I'd be pretty disappointed," said Marion Coach Scott Immerfall.
