The Newton High senior had the top throw going into the finals of the 4A state discus event mdash 132 feet 11 inches The other seven finalist had to chase her Clinton junior Erika Hammond was one inch behind Kalkhoff at 132-10

Hammond reeled off a throw of 135-2 on her first attempt in the finals Kalkhoff was up next

ldquoUsually under pressure I throw well or lift well That was what I needed to get that throw inrdquo Kalkhoff said after

defending her 4A state championship in the discus at the 2015 Iowa High School Track and Field Championships at Drake University

Kalkhoff answered Hammondrsquos challenge with a throw of 139-2 Hammond did mark a 136-9 throw on her next trip into the ring but that was as close as anyone came to Kalkhoff the 2015 Iowa Class 4A discus champion

ldquoTo end my senior season with a second state title is tremendous and to come here and represent the Newton Cardinals is greatrdquo Kalkhoff said

Kalkhoff answered Hammondrsquos challenge with a throw of 139-2 Hammond did mark a 136-9 throw on her next trip into the ring but that was as close as anyone came to Kalkhoff the 2015 Iowa Class 4A discus champion

ldquoTo end my senior season with a second state title is tremendous and to come here and represent the Newton Cardinals is greatrdquo Kalkhoff said

time for Newton High Thirteen days earlier Wood had moved into the top spot on the NHS career scoring list

ldquoItrsquos a big honor to be the all-time leading scorer for Newton Itrsquos hard to believe that I mdash Tyler Wood mdash am the leading scorer Itrsquos kind a hard to get a grasp on that factrdquo Wood said of his accomplishment

ldquoIrsquom very blessed to play this game and to have teammates coaches my family and friends who believed in me I couldnrsquot have done this without my teammates and coaches You donrsquot do something like this by yourselfrdquo

ldquoUsually under pressure I throw well or lift well That was what I needed to get that throw inrdquo Kalkhoff said after

defending her 4A state championship in the discus at the 2015 Iowa High School Track and Field Championships at Drake University

Kalkhoff answered Hammondrsquos challenge with a throw of 139-2 Hammond did mark a 136-9 throw on her next trip into the ring but that was as close as anyone came to Kalkhoff the 2015 Iowa Class 4A discus champion

ldquoTo end my senior season with a second state title is tremendous and to come here and represent the Newton Cardinals is greatrdquo Kalkhoff said

Top Card Ace Duece TreyPoints piled up by the ones twos and threes There

were even occasional four-point playsWhen it all was said and done Tyler Wood concluded

a storied four-year basketball career for Newton High as the Cardinalsrsquo all-time leading scorer with 1076 points Wood is Newtonrsquos most prolific shooter from 3-point field goal range

Newton High Schoolrsquos boys have only two players in its history to score more

than 1000 points Wood went into his senior season sitting sixth place on the career- scoring list with 739

pointsWhen the final buzzer

sounded in the Class 4A substate game on Feb 23 at

Southeast Polk High School Wood walked off the

basketball court for the final

time for Newton High Thirteen days earlier Wood had moved into the top spot on the NHS career scoring list

ldquoItrsquos a big honor to be the all-time leading scorer for Newton Itrsquos hard to believe that I mdash Tyler Wood mdash am the leading scorer Itrsquos kind a hard to get a grasp on that factrdquo Wood said of his accomplishment

ldquoIrsquom very blessed to play this game and to have teammates coaches my family and friends who believed in me I couldnrsquot have done this without my teammates and coaches You donrsquot do something like this by yourselfrdquo

Wood a 6-foot guard reached the 1000-point plateau on Senior Night in front of a home crowd Feb 6 He needed 20 points going into the game to get there and he scored 21 points Wood had 18 points in the first half against Oskaloosa that night which included a four-point play

Top competitors come through under pressure Sarah Kalkhoff proved one more time Thursday she is a top competitor in the Iowa Class 4A discus

The Newton High senior had the top throw going into the finals of the 4A state discus event mdash 132 feet 11 inches The other seven finalist had to chase her Clinton junior Erika Hammond was one inch behind Kalkhoff at 132-10

Hammond reeled off a throw of 135-2 on her first attempt in the finals Kalkhoff was up next

ldquoUsually under pressure I throw well or lift well That was what I needed to get that throw inrdquo Kalkhoff said after

defending her 4A state championship in the discus at the 2015 Iowa High School Track and Field Championships at Drake University

Kalkhoff answered Hammondrsquos challenge with a throw of 139-2 Hammond did mark a 136-9 throw on her next trip into the ring but that was as close as anyone came to Kalkhoff the 2015 Iowa Class 4A discus champion

ldquoTo end my senior season with a second state title is tremendous and to come here and represent the Newton Cardinals is greatrdquo Kalkhoff said

a storied four-year basketball career for Newton High as the Cardinalsrsquo all-time leading scorer with 1076 points Wood is Newtonrsquos most prolific shooter from 3-point field goal range

Newton High Schoolrsquos boys have only two players in its history to score more

time for Newton High Thirteen days earlier Wood had moved into the top spot on the NHS career scoring list

ldquoItrsquos a big honor to be the all-time leading scorer for Newton Itrsquos hard to believe that I mdash Tyler Wood mdash am the leading scorer Itrsquos kind a hard to get a grasp on that factrdquo Wood said of his accomplishment

ldquoUsually under pressure I throw well or lift well That was what I needed to get that throw inrdquo Kalkhoff said after

defending her 4A state championship in the discus at the 2015 Iowa High School Track and Field Championships at Drake University

Kalkhoff answered Hammondrsquos challenge with a throw of 139-2 Hammond did mark a 136-9 throw on her next trip into the ring but that was as close as anyone came to Kalkhoff the 2015 Iowa Class 4A discus champion

ldquoTo end my senior season with a second state title is tremendous and to come here and represent the Newton Cardinals is greatrdquo Kalkhoff said

Top Card Ace Duece TreyPoints piled up by the ones twos and threes There

were even occasional four-point playsWhen it all was said and done Tyler Wood concluded

a storied four-year basketball career for Newton High as the Cardinalsrsquo all-time leading scorer with 1076 points Wood is Newtonrsquos most prolific shooter from 3-point field goal range

Newton High Schoolrsquos boys have only two players in its history to score more

than 1000 points Wood went into his senior season sitting sixth place on the career- scoring list with 739

pointsWhen the final buzzer

sounded in the Class 4A substate game on Feb 23 at

Southeast Polk High School Wood walked off the

basketball court for the final

time for Newton High Thirteen days earlier Wood had moved into the top spot on the NHS career scoring list

ldquoItrsquos a big honor to be the all-time leading scorer for Newton Itrsquos hard to believe that I mdash Tyler Wood mdash am the leading scorer Itrsquos kind a hard to get a grasp on that factrdquo Wood said of his accomplishment

ldquoIrsquom very blessed to play this game and to have teammates coaches my family and friends who believed in me I couldnrsquot have done this without my teammates and coaches You donrsquot do something like this by yourselfrdquo

Wood a 6-foot guard reached the 1000-point plateau on Senior Night in front of a home crowd Feb 6 He needed 20 points going into the game to get there and he scored 21 points Wood had 18 points in the first half against Oskaloosa that night which included a four-point play

The Newton High senior had the top throw going into the finals of the 4A state discus event mdash 132 feet 11 inches The other seven finalist had to chase her Clinton junior Erika Hammond was one inch behind Kalkhoff at 132-10

Hammond reeled off a throw of 135-2 on her first attempt in the finals Kalkhoff was up next

ldquoUsually under pressure I throw well or lift well That was what I needed to get that throw inrdquo Kalkhoff said after

defending her 4A state championship in the discus at the 2015 Iowa High School Track and Field Championships at Drake University

Kalkhoff answered Hammondrsquos challenge with a throw of 139-2 Hammond did mark a 136-9 throw on her next trip into the ring but that was as close as anyone came to Kalkhoff the 2015 Iowa Class 4A discus champion

ldquoTo end my senior season with a second state title is tremendous and to come here and represent the Newton Cardinals is greatrdquo Kalkhoff said

Top Card Ace Duece TreyPoints piled up by the ones twos and threes There

were even occasional four-point playsWhen it all was said and done Tyler Wood concluded

a storied four-year basketball career for Newton High as the Cardinalsrsquo all-time leading scorer with 1076 points Wood is Newtonrsquos most prolific shooter from 3-point field goal range

Newton High Schoolrsquos boys have only two players in its history to score more

than 1000 points Wood went into his senior season sitting sixth place on the career- scoring list with 739

pointsWhen the final buzzer

sounded in the Class 4A substate game on Feb 23 at

Southeast Polk High School Wood walked off the

basketball court for the final

time for Newton High Thirteen days earlier Wood had moved into the top spot on the NHS career scoring list

ldquoItrsquos a big honor to be the all-time leading scorer for Newton Itrsquos hard to believe that I mdash Tyler Wood mdash am the leading scorer Itrsquos kind a hard to get a grasp on that factrdquo Wood said of his accomplishment

ldquoIrsquom very blessed to play this game and to have teammates coaches my family and friends who believed in me I couldnrsquot have done this without my teammates and coaches You donrsquot do something like this by yourselfrdquo

Wood a 6-foot guard reached the 1000-point plateau on Senior Night in front of a home crowd Feb 6 He needed 20 points going into the game to get there and he scored 21 points Wood had 18 points in the first half against Oskaloosa that night which included a four-point play

The Newton High senior had the top throw going into the finals of the 4A state discus event mdash 132 feet 11 inches The other seven finalist had to chase her Clinton junior Erika Hammond was one inch behind Kalkhoff at 132-10

Hammond reeled off a throw of 135-2 on her first attempt in the finals Kalkhoff was up next

ldquoUsually under pressure I throw well or lift well That was what I needed to get that throw inrdquo Kalkhoff said after

defending her 4A state championship in the discus at the 2015 Iowa High School Track and Field Championships at Drake University

Kalkhoff answered Hammondrsquos challenge with a throw of 139-2 Hammond did mark a 136-9 throw on her next trip into the ring but that was as close as anyone came to Kalkhoff the 2015 Iowa Class 4A discus champion

ldquoTo end my senior season with a second state title is tremendous and to come here and represent the Newton Cardinals is greatrdquo Kalkhoff said

The Newton High senior had the top throw going into the finals of the 4A state discus event mdash 132 feet 11 inches The other seven finalist had to chase her Clinton junior Erika Hammond was one inch behind Kalkhoff at 132-10

Hammond reeled off a throw of 135-2 on her first attempt in the finals Kalkhoff was up next

ldquoUsually under pressure I throw well or lift well That was what I needed to get that throw inrdquo Kalkhoff said after

defending her 4A state championship in the discus at the 2015 Iowa High School Track and Field Championships at Drake University

Kalkhoff answered Hammondrsquos challenge with a throw of 139-2 Hammond did mark a 136-9 throw on her next trip into the ring but that was as close as anyone came to Kalkhoff the 2015 Iowa Class 4A discus champion

ldquoTo end my senior season with a second state title is tremendous and to come here and represent the Newton Cardinals is greatrdquo Kalkhoff said

Hammond reeled off a throw of 135-2 on her first attempt in the finals Kalkhoff was up next

ldquoUsually under pressure I throw well or lift well That was what I needed to get that throw inrdquo Kalkhoff said after

defending her 4A state championship in the discus at the 2015 Iowa High School Track and Field Championships at Drake University

Kalkhoff answered Hammondrsquos challenge with a throw of 139-2 Hammond did mark a 136-9 throw on her next trip into the ring but that was as close as anyone came to Kalkhoff the 2015 Iowa Class 4A discus champion

ldquoTo end my senior season with a second state title is tremendous and to come here and represent the Newton Cardinals is greatrdquo Kalkhoff said

Kalkhoff answered Hammondrsquos challenge with a throw of 139-2 Hammond did mark a 136-9 throw on her next trip into the ring but that was as close as anyone came to Kalkhoff the 2015 Iowa Class 4A discus champion

ldquoTo end my senior season with a second state title is tremendous and to come here and represent the Newton Cardinals is greatrdquo Kalkhoff said
