“The boys competed well and we had personal bests, both individually and as relays, and that’s what we want to happen at Districts,” said Coach Kelsey Steffens.  “I am looking forward to watching the four boys compete on the blue oval.”

Despite their best efforts, the Garner-Hayfield-Ventura girls track team didn’t have any events advance to the State Track Meet from the Class 2A District Qualifying Meet held in Garner on Thursday, May 12.

“I am extremely proud of my team,” said Coach Dyan Childress.  “They worked hard all year, repeatedly broke their personal records and developed an amazing team atmosphere.  We’re a young team that will go for it again next year.”
