So far this season for track and field, tennis and golf the weather has been as good as can be for spring sports, fortunately the sports teams have been able to get in meets and matches and that makes practice worth the effort. Hopefully this continues for the teams as they prepare for the postseason. This Saturday, April 6th the track and field teams will be in Laurel for the Red Lodge Invite. The tennis teams will be in Townsend, April 5th to play Townsend and Lone Peak, they will be at Belgrade on April 6th to play Red Lodge and possibly another team. The JV golf teams will be in Big Timber on Thursday, April 4th. Varsity golf teams will be at Florence Thursday April 4th and at Big Timber Saturday, April 6th. JV golf will be at Bozeman Wednesday, April 10th for a meet hosted by Manhattan, Varsity golf will be at Livingston on Thursday April 11th to play in the Gardiner meet. It is always good to check with the High School to make sure the meets are on as weather can cancel them.
The track and field teams competed in the Columbus Snowflake Meet last Thursday, the weather was good with overcast skies until it got down to the last few events, then a dark cloud rolled in with wind and rain that soaked everyone that did not make it undercover and the kids who were still competing in the last events of the day.
