Class 1A State Meet - 400m
“Ryce Reynolds’ athletic prowess was on full display this season, culminating with a flurry of gold medals at the state meet. In addition to a pair of individual victories, he mined gold in the shuttle hurdles relay, as Iowa is one of the few states in the nation that hosts that event at its state meet.”

Reynolds also ran the anchor leg on Mount Ayr’s winning Swedish Medley Relay team and took second in the 200-meter dash. His winning time in the 400 hurdles of 51.68 seconds ranked No. 2 nationally among prep competitors this spring.
