The girls team finished fourth with 78 points, while the boys team finished fifth with 68.5 points.
“Overall, I’m pretty impressed,” head coach Jason Bousman said. “The competition in our county is extremely high, Horlick and Case are some are the most competitive programs.”
Bousman always looks forward to competing against them, and thought his program did really well.
Megan Wallace had the first place finish in the long jump with a finish of 16-02. Grace Peyron finished ninth in the same event with a finish of 14-01.
“It was cold for all the athletes on Thursday,” Bousman said. “As a senior, she had high marks in the long jump and led the 800-meter relay.”
