GRUNDY CENTER – After traveling US 63 south on Tuesday, April 23, we went the other direction on Thursday.
Again we faced some pretty tough competition and were able to put together some good times. I was very pleased with how the guys responded after a heavy workload on Tuesday.
Again we were able to get alot of guys running and competing. It was a good tune up for our conference meet on Tuesday while also being able to put up some good times.
The wind was not as strong on Thursday and our distance guys were able to use that to their advantage. Our sprinters were able to compete with some good competition as well and that pushed our times.
Overall it was a pretty good week for the guys!
