Argonia Indians Finish Track Season
The Junior High track team’s season has come to an end after having yet another awesome season. We traveled to Flint Hills on May 8th to compete in our last track meet which was the League track meet.
We had been competing against most of our league schools all season at other track meets and but we just never saw more than two or three of our league schools at any one of those meets. Our young athletes have done very well this season. We brought home several medals from every track meet that we have participated in. It has been another nice experience watching these young athletes compete their best and watch them grow to become more competitive every day.
It was another long track meet due to the weather issues we were experiencing. The track meet was postponed due to lightning and everyone had to retreat to their buses. I'm not sure how many of you have ever sat on a school bus with 34 junior high kids in the middle of a rain storm for a minimum of 30 minutes, so let’s just say it was an experience that will not be forgotten anytime soon.
The 6th & 7th Girls brought home 6 medals, the 6th & 7th boys brought home 1 medal, the 8th girls brought home 10 medals, and the 8th boys brought home 3 medals. We were very proud of our Junior High Team all season.
Would like to take a minute and thank all of our 8th graders for their commitment to the sport and their time invested. I look forward to working with each one of you next season as you will be competing at a much more competitive level. I have no doubt that each one of you can pull your weight next season. Continue to work hard and set those goals.
Thanks goes out to each one of you on the track team, I have really enjoyed our season together and hope that each one of you have a great summer. Thanks again for all the memories.
