Friday’s invitational was a fantastic way to conclude the 2021 track season as both teams finished in 3rd place for the team standings against competition from much larger schools. The Boys' team scored 84.33 points while the girls scored 56 points. I am extremely proud of our student-athletes for their efforts at Friday’s invite and throughout this season.
