On Monday, April 15, 2024, teams blew into Spartan Stadium to participate in the junior high track & field meet. Athletes competed in the 7th grade or 8th grade division. If a school used an 8th grade runner to complete a relay team, they competed in the 8th grade division even though three runners were 7th grade or so forth.

With Mother Nature canceling one of our meets last week, we were able to get another meet added to our schedule by traveling to Avon on Friday, April 12, 2024. Mother Nature made up for it with great track meet weather.

On Thursday, April 11, 2024, the junior high track team blew down to Corsica to participate in their junior high meet. For the girls, Kaebry Dixon threw the shot put 18’ 8.5”, Tenley Olinger threw it 16’ ‘1.5”, and Baleigh Sails threw it 15’ 7.5”.
