Anamosa senior Mike Lint used deliberate negative thinking to fuel performance at the state class A Indoor track meet. He tied the 50-yard dash meet record at :05.5 in both heats, claiming a third :05.5 time in the finals due to dual timers, while Anamosa finished 13th as Glenwood won the team title. Dennis Modracek led Prairie with third-place finishes in the 880 and the mile, anchoring the Raiders.
