The rest of the WCHS Tiger boys track team also made the trek to Mankato today. Despite there being a lot of teams there today the boys came to compete. Tanner jumped a pr in triple jump and was within 2" of the school record!! Brody had a 3 second pr in the 800 as well. Eli Crome continues to shave time off both his 100 and 200. Gavyn won the javelin again as well. With a little more work on technique in the next couple weeks these boys could surprise some people!!! https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/meet/645243/results

The rest of the lady Tigers track team went to Rock Hills today. We had another nice day for a track meet and the ladies competed well. Alyssa jumped very well in long jump and is less than 2" away from the school record!! Amaya continues to improve in the long jump and PR'd again today. Chancie also PR'd in the 100. Macie threw the javelin well and came away with second place. Maggie had a good day high jumping, placing 2nd, and almost cleared 5'!! The lady Tigers team also came away with third place. With the season winding down, I think they are peaking at the right time.
