As a team the girls (all two of them) accumulated 14 points. They both finished on the podium in shot put, Taryn made the podium in javelin and Kyrah qualified with a top ten finish in discus. Each of them gets to move on in two events to compete this weekend at divisionals.
On the boys side, they managed a seventh place finish, with 52 points. Nathan had podium finished in both the 1600 and 3200. Kynd had a podium finish in the 3200 and a top ten finish in the 1600. Zane had a podium finish in the shot put. The relay team with Kynd, Kalen, Zane, and Garet finished sixth. Xavian and Zane both had top ten finishes in discus. Garet is the new DISTRICT CHAMPION in the javelin.
