Morrison's Brackemeyer to run at Hawkeye Community College

MORRISON – Koby Brackemeyer, a member of two state championship track and field relay teams, will run next year at Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo, Iowa.

Brackemeyer ran with Nick Allen, Nathan Mickley and Keegan Anderson 2 years ago to win the Class 1A 3,200-meter relay state championship in 8 minutes, 0.59 seconds. He teamed with Mickley, Anderson and Hunter Newman to repeat as state champions last season with a time of 7:57.85.

The Mustangs took fourth place in last year's 1A state meet.

Brackemeyer also teamed with Mickley, Newman and Alex Anderson to take second place last year in the 1,600-meter relay in 3:24.85. The year prior, he teamed with Mickley, Keegan Anderson and John Winkleman to finish seventh in 3:26.85.

In individual races, Brackemeyer took home his third medal from last year's state meet with a fifth-place finish in the 800-meter run in 1:57.49. He also finished 10th in the 800 2 years ago in 1:58.39, and eighth 3 years ago in 1:57.56; and also qualified in the 1,600 run as a freshman.

Brackemeyer helped form Morrison's first cross country team since 1969 and is a four-time sectional qualifier. He qualified for the state meet his sophomore year, when he finished in 15:49, and his senior year with a time of 17 minutes.

The Hawkeye Redtails, which began its track program 3 years ago, compete in the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference.
