Roland-Story had a state championship relay team at the boys state track meet in Des Moines Saturday en route to a 14th-place team finish in the Class 2A standings.  Overall, three relay teams scored a total of 16 points for the Norse at Drake Stadium.

The 4x100 relay team of Adam Johnson, Keaton Mathis, Bryce Sampson and Bryttan Thompson took gold on Saturday for R-S.  The Norsemen foursome blazed to a winning time of 43.45 seconds.  That was over a half second faster than runner-up Eddyville-Blakesburg (43.96).  Roland-Story had run the fourth-fastest time in the prelims, 44.11, before turning it on in the finals on Saturday.  The victory earned R-S ten team points.

Roland-Story placed fifth in the finals of the 4x110 shuttle hurdle relay.  The quartet of Andrew Henning, Matt Swanson, Zeb Hammes and Bryce Sampson timed in 1:00.07 in the finals.  The Norse shaved a tenth of their qualifying time from Thursday and moved up from eighth-fastest in the prelims to fifth-fastest in the finals.  The fifth-place finish was good for four team points.

In the 4x200 relay, the same foursome that took the 4x100 gold medal placed seventh for R-S, netting two team points.  Johnson, Mathis, Sampson and Thompson timed in 1:32.11.
