“We had some weather this week, and a JV track meet, so we didn’t get a full week of practice, and we leveled out this week,” commented co-head coach Hallie Blunt.
“At the JV track meet our kids did really well, they were able to get some time in events they hadn’t run yet, and we got some kids some time on the track,” said Blunt.

“Our MVP’s for the week are once again our throwers, but this time the girls discus, both of the girls had PR’s and Shyana Kurth nearly threw 80 feet,” said Blunt.
The team is busy this week beginning with pole vault in West Grand Tuesday, Owen Hanneman took 4th and jumped 10 feet 9 inches and Merrifield cleared 8’3”, Reese Clatterbaugh had PR at 7’3”.
“There were 38 boys and 38 girls at this event, it was fun and our kids did well,” said Blunt.
