Mike Jay, better known as "The Track Guy," is the voice of the Iowa High School State Track and Field meet and has spent decades promoting and supporting the sport across our state.

Through this foundation, Mike and his family have helped provide running shoes, scholarships, camp opportunities, and other support to young athletes in need. The foundation has donated more than 1,300 pairs of running shoes to Iowa student-athletes and continues to make a tremendous impact.

I encourage everyone to watch the Track Guy documentary on YouTube and consider supporting this incredible foundation. There are many ways to show support, one of those ways is purchasing merchandise from the website!

Mike's passion for track and field and his commitment to helping young athletes is truly inspiring. Every donation helps ensure more kids have the opportunity to compete, grow, and experience the sport we all love.

Iowa High School Track and Field and Cross Country athletes, Track Guy Foundation, in partnership with Iowa American Water and Bix 7 is offering FREE entry to the 2026 Bix 7 or the Prairie Farms Quick Bix!!

State Track Recap!

Thursday started off with the shuttle hurdle relay. Unfortunately, Alexis Rose suffered a hamstring injury while preparing for the state meet. Despite the setback, the girls still battled their way to a 20th-place finish overall.

Due to the injury, Alexis was also forced to scratch from the 100m hurdles. While it was very unfortunate, we are extremely proud of the way she handled such a difficult moment with grace and courage, still stepping up to run the shuttle for her teammates.

Izzy O’Dowd placed 18th in discus with a throw of 107-5. Izzy has worked hard all four years and qualified for state in discus three different seasons.

The 4x100 relay team also finished 21st with a time of 51.76. Laney Brinkman also competed in the 400m hurdles, finishing 17th overall with a time of 1:09.85.

Cora Barnett is now a two-time state event qualifier and looks to continue building on that next season. Linde Fleshner also looks to succeed in the next three years. Laney Brinkman finishes her career as an eight-time state event qualifier over four years, while Alexis Rose ends with six state event qualifications over four years. Claire McCandless finishes as a three-time state qualifier.

We appreciate every senior on this team and the leadership they brought to the program. This class will truly be missed. Thank you for setting the standard for the younger athletes and proving that track can be competitive while still being fun💛

Thank you to Kiya Johnson, former North Butler athlete and 2022 400m hurdle state champion, for stopping by practice today as we prepare for Des Moines. Your support, advice, and encouragement are greatly appreciated, and our athletes loved hearing from someone who has been in their shoes before!💛
