The high school track team travelled to Pittsburg State University on Friday for their annual Jock’s Nitch/PSU Gorilla Relays. This meet was mostly moved to their indoor facility because of the threat of storms that was forecasted all day. This is a regional meet with schools from Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma attending with sizes ranging from Class 1 to Class 6 schools. We use these types of meets against larger schools as “state meet practice” against the tougher competition that we normally would see in local meets. The athletes have to qualify for these meets, so we took fewer athletes than normal. As expected, the Bears competed strongly with our small squad and set 9 new personal records and brought home 3 medals, all of them gold! In addition, a new meet record was set as well as a new school record!
