Track Athletes Compete in Battle Creek

After being postponed twice, the Pirates finally got to compete in the Battle Creek Invitational. Due to bad weather this was the first invitational of the year. The boys took third place honors and the girls took 5th place, but only 9 points from placing second. For the first big meet, I thought we set some good early season marks. However, there still are a lot of areas where we are going to get in better shape and improve.
