After a 3200 meter race last Thursday at the Boys State Track meet that stripped George-Little Rock’s Joe Anderson of a state title, Anderson was given that title back as Co-Champion.
KIWA talked to Anderson about the events that surrounded the race.

The IAHSAA reported on Monday that they awarded three post-meet medals to boys who placed higher in last Thursday’s complete Class 1A 3,200-meter run than in the official race that was shortened to seven laps due to our bell lap error on the track.
The Athletic Association stated that they know these awards cannot make up for the frustration these competitors and their supporters felt last week, but hope they can serve as a positive reminder of their accomplishments.
Anderson received a first-place gold medal, Nodaway Valley’s Joshua Baudler a runner-up silver, and Dawson Hatch of Sioux Central will receive a medal for eighth place.
