Boys track team powers through the weather

Boys track team powers through the weather

Guest Columnist: David Gumke

This is probably the earliest outdoor track and field meet I have been involved in. It was great to be outside to give our athletes an early chance to qualify their events. Even though we were outside, the conditions were not ideal. It was very windy and took the whole day to get to a decent “feels like” temperature. We had good solid efforts by our athletes, but did not qualify any events. We had many improvements in marks throughout the day and are off to a good start to the outdoor season.


Our next meet will be in Mandan on Friday, April 4. Then we host a big Varsity/JV meet on Tuesday, April 8. Our Junior High will compete at our home track on Thursday, April 10.
