Bobcats fare well in big competition

Western Dubuque opened its 2023 indoor campaign and earned a pair of top-10 finishes.

“We were very happy about our first meet at Dickinson,” said coach Josie Limmex. “Great times and competition all around.”

There were 233 athletes competed in the 60-meter dash, and Western Dubuque’s Brynn Walters ran to an impressive seventh-place finish, crossing the line in 8.09 seconds in the final after qualifying ninth.

Ava Ramler, Lucy Ehlers, Erica Ernzen and Walters finished in 1:52.79 to take eighth in the 4x200 relay, with 79 teams competing in the event.

Limmex is happy with the development of her team in the early portion of the season.

“We’re very excited to be back at UNI with our full squad for the MVC Tuesday,” Limmex said. “We have lots of talent to show off this year.”
