Tracksters compete in Breck meet
By Donnie A. Lucas
Despite the lack of workout time due to weather and playoffs in other sports, the Lions and Lady Lions opened the track season last Thursday in Breckenridge with several individuals and relays earning medals.
The local tracksters will travel to Anson in Thursday (today) for the next meet.
“The Breckenridge meet was a good opportunity to get some quality running competition, especially since we haven’t worked out much,” boys head track coach Rod Britting said. “I was pleasantly surprised with our efforts, which excites me about the possibilities this season.”
The coach said that the jumpers had a good meet under the cold and wet conditions, and several runners competed well.
“The highlight of the meet for our relays was coming from behind to win the mile relay,” Britting said.
Girls head coach Dakota Fowler agreed that the weather hampered the performances somewhat.
“The girls did an amazing job, winning some of our field events,” she said. “We also performed well in the running events. I can’t wait to see how the season goes.”
