On Saturday the Butler Bears Track Team traveled to Archie for a beautiful full day of track. With a lot of high expectations and it being a “make it or break it” kind of day, the entire team performed well! For some of these athletes, this was their last meet of the season, for others it was a stepping stone on to the next week of competition.
All of the Girls hard work earned a 2nd place finish, sending us home with the good old Missouri-shaped, walnut plaque!! I am extremely proud of our team and all that we have accomplished this season and with such a small team! I only had 8 girls competing on Saturday. Here are the top 8 place finishers who earned points and helped their team to the 2nd place finish!
