CAM Girls Track and Field Continue to Lower Times

By Chris Varney Apr 19, 2025 | 10:37 AM

(Anita, IA) — The CAM Girls Track and Field team did not get the chance to run all the events on Thursday night — Mother Nature only allowed 12 events to be completed at the Charger Relays. Still, Ada Hansen will make the field of the Drake Relays in the 400 Hurdles — the Senior has not been able to improve her time of 1:05.33 which she ran on April. At the time, she ranked 4th in the state but has slipped to 11th. The Drake Relays take the top 16 so she will be on the list when it is announced later today. CAM Head Coach Luke Symonds says mission accomplished

Hansen is also part of the Shuttle Hurdle relay which got a season PR on Thursday with a time of 1:12.05. Hansen actually runs first in the relay followed by Brookelynn Steffen, Bailey Lillard and Ruthie Rich runs anchor. Symonds says he has tried to change the order but the girls like it the way it is
