I’m happy with our performance today! We’re facing some injuries on the team, so we weren’t 100% healthy. We always run against tougher competition in Mesick. The girls hung in there and held their own. We had 11 personal records set today! Sophomore Stacey Keith turned in 4 new personal records in the 100m, 200m, 400m relay, 800m relay. With the semis and finals, she was a busy gal today. The girls track team will next see action on Wednesday, at home where they will take part in the WMD Jamboree. Good Luck! ~Coach Brown |
