MARSHALL — Eighth-grader Laura Johnson continued her early-season excellence for the Marshall Tigers Monday, winning the 1600 run and anchoring the winning 4x400 relay.
Those performances helped the Tigers win their quadrangular on a hot, windy afternoon with 93 points.
Montevideo was second with 63 points. Renville County West finished third with 58 points and Lincoln HI was fourth with 41 points..
The athletes didn’t mind the 25 mph wind, which their times and distances, because it made the 90-degree weather bearable.

MARSHALL — Marshall’s Yahya Iman was running with the wind Monday.
In his duel with Montevideo’s Greg Liebl — both were in last year’s state cross country meet — Iman was amazing on his own track.
Iman ran a 4:31.77 to outlast Liebl and win the 1600. Liebl finished in 4:38.32.
“I was expecting that to be the premier race of the day,” Marshall coach Mike Jacobs said. “I don’t think Liebl knew what hit him.”
Iman’s time was one second off the Marshall school record — set by Pete Harney (4:30).
“We didn’t know he was smoking that much,” Jacobs said. “That perked up his interest, knowing he was that close to a school record.”
Thursday, Iman and Liebl resume their rivalry at the Willmar Invitational.
Marshall sprinter, jumper and point-scorer extraordinaire Kai Sill has emerged as a dominant athlete on the boys track team.
