TIPTON - Peter Rethwisch and Madison Bach of Marion finished 12th in their respective races at the Tipton Invitational cross country meet Tuesday.
Rethwisch covered the 5K course for boys in 18:20. Marion placed sixth out of 21 teams in the standings. Mount Vernon/Lisbon was the champion.
Bach finished the 4K course for girls in 17:19 to help the Indians place eighth out 19 teams in the standings. Davenport Assumption was the champion.
Alyssa Thomas collected 14 kills and three blocks Tuesday night as Marion swept a Wamac Conference volleyball match against Benton Community, 25-8, 25-9, 27-25, at the Marion gym.
The Indians finished with 30 kills in three games, with Kaela Halvorson contributing five kills.
Amanda Sahm had 23 assists and went 17-for-17 on her serves, with six aces. Johanna Steggall went 24-for-25 on serves with seven aces.
Abby Phillips came up with 15 digs and Kaitlyn Nathem had eight.
The Marion Indians clasped hands and walked silently off the field at Thomas Park Friday night after being mauled by top-ranked Decorah, 35-0, at home.
There wasn't much to say, except the obvious.
"They're a great team," Marion senior Ethan Herren remarked after the Indians had reached their buses. "It was a battle in the trenches all night. They were low, they were stronger and they were faster.
"They wanted it more," he said.
CENTER POINT - Alyssa Thomas collected 16 kills and 10 blocks Thursday night as the Marion Indians defeated Center Point-Urbana, 25-14, 17-25, 25-15, 25-22, in a Wamac Conference volleyball match.
Jessica Thomas went 18-for-18 on serves for Marion with five aces. She also had nine kills.
Amanda Sahm finished with 37 assists and three blocks. Abby Phillips went 21-for-21 on serves (two aces) and had 19 digs. Kaela Halvorson contributed 12 kills.
Marion (1-0, 1-0) is ranked No. 14 in Class 4A.
They've ripped out the 65-year-old bleachers at the Thomas Park football field in Marion and replaced them with new seats that are sturdier and hold a few more people.
Just in time.
The Marion Indians, fresh off a 70-7 conquest of Mount Pleasant, will be hosting the top-ranked Decorah Vikings Friday night in the Class 3A game of the week -- and maybe the game of the year.
The Indians jumped to No. 4 in the Des Moines Register poll this week and are ranked No. 5 by the Associated Press as they head into the big contest.
