Garber did what he usually has this year by winning the 100-meter dash, the 110 high hurdles and the 400 hurdles, and his team took the top honors as well with 141 points, 38 ahead of Aplington-Parkersburg in second place.

Garber, who signed his National Letter of Intent to join the Iowa State University track team on Thursday morning, broke his own school record in the 110 high hurdles by crossing the line in 14.41 seconds, and he cut his time in the 100 with an 11.2.

Garber also picked up a fourth victory on the day in the shuttle hurdle relay, where he combined with Coby Willett, Koty Kruse and Neifer Ralston to run a 1:02.52 and barely edge past North Tama’s 1:02.86.

Caleb Silver also had a great night in his final home meet. He started off by smoking the field in the 3,200, running a 10:30.57 to win the race by 40 seconds. Silver also took third in the 1,600 with a 4:57.42, while teammate Ruben Montoya won the event with a 4:53.02.
