Clear Lake boys tested themselves against some of biggest and best schools in the state by competing at the Fred Smith Relays in Ankeny last week.  Placements were hard to come by against the likes of Waukee, two Ankeny schools, Dowling Catholic, Southeast Polk, Ames and more 4A schools in the 16-team field.

The Lions scored 6.5 points, supplied by Zach Lester’s fifth place finish in the high jump.  He tied for fifth with a leap of 6’0”.

The Garner-Hayfield-Ventura girls soccer team has been battling the weather all season, but did manage to get a game in between snow storms.  The Cardinals traveled to Iowa Falls on Tuesday, April 17, to face the Cadets.

After a brutal snowy start to the season, Mother Nature finally allowed the Clear Lake  girls soccer team to take the field Monday night, April 23.   The wait was worth it, as the Lions earned a 5-4 victory on the road against Humboldt.
