The boys' and girls’ track teams hosted the South Loup Invitational on Friday, April 11, with the Lady Bobcats winning the team championship by 10 points while the boys’ team was only 2 points off the lead to finish as runners-up in the team standings. There were a total of 13 teams competing in the meet.

“We are starting to build momentum as we head into the back half of our track season,” said boys Head Coach Andy Schwarz. “Our home meet was met with perfect weather and outstanding performances!

Highlights of the day include our long jumpers – Ethan Furne and Dylan Pandorf who went one and two. We placed two runners in both the 800 and 1600m runs.

The sprint relay and distance relays came away with first place as well. Up next will be a tough meet in Burwell.”
