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.

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.
