WADENA — Crosby-Ironton doubled its fun as it captured the Section 4-1A title in both kick and jazz Saturday, Feb. 4.

C-I defended its section title in kick with 521 total points and five rank points. Second-place Hawley scored 471 points and 12 rank points. Bagley, which finished third to also advance scored 473 points and 14 rank points.

Aitkin finished seventh and Wadena-Deer Creek placed ninth.

“The consistent hours of hard work put in this season paid off as we earned the title of double section champions,” C-I head coach Rachel Norwood said. “This is the first time in program history that we have been section champs in jazz and the first back-to-back section champion placement for kick. It was also super exciting to see that all eight judges had us ranked in first for both jazz and kick. Both of our routines had peak performances (Saturday) and we are honored to have the opportunity to represent Section 4-1A in the state tournament."

C-I, which advanced to state in jazz last year, captured the section title with 499 points and five rank points.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
