Organizers of The Jack Race announced Monday they will opt to hold their event Feb. 10-11, rather than this weekend.

John Helgren, son of the late Jack Helgren, for whom the race is named, said Monday’s freezing rain, followed by warming temperatures this week, would likely create less than ideal ice conditions by Friday and Saturday.  Therefore, the group will defer to their previously announced alternate race date, Feb. 10-11.

The Clear Lake Lions moved their record to 5-7 last week by splitting a pair of games.  The Lions earned a victory over New Hampton in non-conference action, and dropped a league battle with Webster City.

The Clear Lake wrestling team picked up two big North Central Conference wins Thursday.  The Lions avenged a loss to Webster City, then rolled over St. Ed’s in a triangular held on the Lions’ home mat.  The Lions also got revenge against a good Humboldt team at Saturday’s Osage Tournament.

“Overall, we are seeing the improvement needed as we close in on the NCC tournament this weekend and ultimately the sectional tournament in February,” said Coach Mike Lester.
