IOWA CITY -- Iowa City West climbed all the way from the bottom of a giant hole only to climb back to the top of the Mississippi Valley Conference mountain.
Facing about a 30-point deficit to start the meet, trailing Linn-Mar and Cedar Rapids Prairie, the third-ranked Trojans took control late to win their ninth straight MVC team title Saturday at West High School. The Trojans crowned six champions and tallied 250 1/2 points, topping Linn-Mar by just 13. Prairie finished third with 220.
The Lions applied pressure early, moving 12 into the semifinals, which accounted for big points.
