It was not a very pleasant day for a meet, as the weather got colder and more windy as the day progressed, however, we got the meet in and we were able to get to participate.

We did not have a very good day, as we did not do well in either the field events, nor in the running events.  We were very disappointed in only scoring 5 points in the field events, however, it was great to see Senior, Nicole Weyers, do well in the pole vault, and Junior Kelsey DeJonge throw very well in the discus.  We know that for the most part we are very young in the field events, and must give our athletes time to learn and to become more experienced in those events.   I think that that  it will come, but it will take hard work and patience in learning.  We just need time to learn the techniques of our events, and that will come with practice and experience in our  training.  We expect to keep improving throughout the season.

Kelly Helmberger, Sarah Logan, and Kenzie Roy did well in their events.  Kelly running well in the 3200, even with the extreme winds, and Sarah and Kenzie doing well in the sprints.

Our next meet will be with our Freshmen traveling to Waverly for the Triangular Meet of Fairbury, Norris, and Waverly.  Meet time 4:00.  On Friday, April 8th, our varsity will participate in the Waverly Invitational.  Fourteen teams will be participating, meet time 10:00.
