Stingers Compete at the Mountain Lion Classic
May 8, 2023
On Friday, May 5th, 2023 the Marion Center Track and field competed at the Mountain Lion Classic in Altoona. After a long rainy week of practices, the team was grateful to have sunshine for the entire day.
The Mountain Lion Classic is held annually at Mansion Park Stadium. This meet ensured great competition, officiating, and awards. It also served as a learning opportunity for all of the athletes, putting them up against some of the toughest competitions they have had all season. Even against the fierce competition, the Stingers showed their strength, determination, and competitiveness to leave the meet feeling accomplished.
Notable finishes included:
Reagan Ryen- 1st place 800-meter run
