The varsity track and field opened their season yesterday, March 28th at the Punxsatany high school. After a week of expected rainy weather, they were pleasantly surprised by the sunshine and light breezes as the evening continued.

First-place highlights included:

Reagen Ryen- 1600 Meter Run

Reagan Ryen-  800 Meter Run

Mikayla Gatskie- 300 Meter Hurdles

Milayna Leasure- Shotput

Rachel Fox- Pole Vault

The girl’s 4×400 Meter Relay team of Reagan Ryen, Mikayla Gatskie, Claire Hood, and Mackenzie Thomas

For many team members, it was their first varsity track meet, but with the help of the veteran track and field athletes, they were made to feel right at home on the track.

“No matter what happens when you race today, I’ll only be mad if you don’t try your hardest. So go out there and try your hardest and have fun.” Coach Sitosky told the girls and boys 200m runners as they warmed up for their race.
