by Head Track Coach Brian Goatley

On Tuesday, April 9, despite threats of storms, the El Dorado Springs high school track team was able to host it’s home meet without any weather issues. This year has been a very difficult year, weather wise. This was supposed to be our 5th meet of the year and was just our 3rd, so we were very pleased to get this one in and also give the home crowd a good show.

On the girls’ side, Courtney Hooper and Emily Ford placed 4th and 6th, respectively, in the discus throw. They threw well and keep getting better.

In the running events, the girls 4 x 800 m. relay consisting of Tessa Durnell, Elizabeth Clark, Hannah Bruggemann and Katie Bruggemann, placed 4th. Cameron McPeak placed 3rd in the 200 m.
