VARSITY TRACK & FIELD
4/16-17 at Nick Finnegan Invitational
Girls 7th place • Boys 3rd place
Coach Scott Holland: This meet gave us a good look at our competition for the SPC South Zone Meet on May 1. Weather conditions were constantly changing from light rain, winds that gusted off and on, plus a 15-minute lightning delay. Despite the conditions, we competed well–17 PRs set, and we are looking forward to getting back to work to improve for the South Zone Meet.
