Track teams compete in Breck meet

0 comments

The Lions’ varsity track team stepped up their level of competition last week with a fourth place finish at the Breckenridge meet, while the varsity girls were still working short-handed.

Both track coaches are looking forward to the Hamlin track meet on Saturday, which starts at 9:00 a.m. Field and running preliminaries will be on the track in the morning, followed by the running finals starting after the lunch break.

The varsity boys racked up 63 points in the Breckenridge meet for fourth, while the girls scored 32 points for sixth. The JV boys were also sixth with 20 points.

“This was a better meet for us,” boys coach Rod Britting said. “Again, we didn’t have all of our guys with us, with several at other venues, which just happens this time of year. Our jumpers had a really good day, and our relays were competitive.”

The coach said that he saw performances that he could build off of.

On the girls’ side, the Lady Lions were once again working with only a partial team due to other activities, including a softball tournament.

“We took the ones who could go and competed well,” varsity girls coach Lauren Peacock said. “Even though we didn’t have everyone, we put together a couple of relays and looked okay overall.”

The coach said she was looking forward to having close to a complete team to travel to the Hamlin meet this week.

“We will still have a couple gone for spring break, but there will be a lot more than we have had for our first two meets,” Peacock said.
