much better than prior years, and the meet went very smoothly. Overall it was a very good meet for us, with
teams winning plaques for Senior Girls 1st, Junior Girls 3rd,
Sophmore Girls 1st, Freshman
Girls 1st, Junior Boys 2nd,
Sophmore Boys 2nd. Overall
the Girls team ranked 1st out of 17 schools, and the Boys ranked 3rd. Overall a good performance, and another step
in the right direction. This is also the
last time we will be running by grade level.
