What a team, what a weekend! Qualified 11 events & placed in 9! All 13 athletes that stepped on the blue oval left with a🏅 around their neck! Battled the 🥵 weather for 3 days through 15 races and finished with a 💥& secured a 4th place team finish! Proud is an understatement!
New track, new markings, and 4 new signs on each corner of the track. Hopefully makes meet days easy for athletes, officials, helpers, and coaches! Thanks for the idea

who competed at
@newbalance
nationals today in the 400LH at college height. Placed 22nd overall and 5th out of the sophomores that entered. Looking forward to seeing him beat this time next year!
2 of our top 4 runners out w/ injuries, 1 of only two 3A schools in a 12 team 4A field, & it rained most of the night. Lots of reasons to feel sorry for ourselves. Proud & happy for our guys that competed like crazy to take 4th place. Got better & took a bug step forward tonight!
So proud of our slightly better then average track team...we knew we had a shot in 10 events...while still unofficial...we think 1600 med, 4x800, 4x100, & shot put get in along with our auto qualifiers of the high jump, long jump, & hurdle team, earned everything the got!🔥🏃♂️💨💪
Congrats to the 8th grade boys track 4x800 relay team for breaking the school record. Team of Corbin Jorgensen, Caleb Kruse, Caleb Olson & Ryan Watters broke the school record of 9 min, 59 seconds by running a time of 9 min and 42 seconds last night! 🏆🥇🐯🏃♂️💨
