Abby Kolarik and Morgan Kolarik won titles for Marion High School at the Wamac Conference West Division track meet Monday at Thomas Park.
Abby Kolarik captured the 400 meter dash in 1:00.11. Morgan Kolarik claimed the 100 meter hurdles in 15.70 seconds.
Williamsburg won the team championship. Marion placed fifth out of eight teams.
The Marion Indians won 10 events Monday and ran away with the team championship at the Wamac Conference West Division boys track meet at Thomas Park.
The Indians captured the 4x100, 4x200, 4x400, 4x800 and shuttle hurdle relays with their excellent collections of sprinters and middle distance runners.
Devin LeBeau won the 100, Quinn Cannoy took the 110 hurdles, Isaac Frazier claimed the high jump, Zach Borens won the shot put and Justin Dolley took the discus.
Marion is coming off of a 29-11 season in 2012 and the program is set to put another good baseball team on the field again this year.
The graduation of Cale Cannoy (5-1) and Tyler Hedtke (6-3) will leave the Indians short a couple of quality starters in the rotation. Also gone are talented leadoff hitter Mitch Wagner (.400), stalwart catcher Addison Johnson, and outfielders Josh Davila (.321) and Sean McGarvey (.319).
All-state first baseman Trev Biery (.403), who led the team with 53 RBIs, will lead a nucleus of letterwinners on this year’s club. Also back is outfielder Alex Charipar (.369) and pitcher Levi Lochner (6-2).

WATERLOO - The Marion boys finished second Tuesday in the Wamac Conference boys tennis meet at Byrnes Park.
