Junior High Track – Diamond Meet Results
Our JH track team kicked off their season yesterday at the Diamond Meet—great job to all of our athletes in their first meet of the year! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️
Due to the way results were provided, 7th and 8th grade competitors were combined in the listings, with placements separated but not labeled by grade level. This means some events may show duplicate placements (for example, two 1st place finishers in the same event), representing top finishers from each grade.

The Eagles are busy today!
HS Track in Diamond @ 4pm.
HS Baseball home @ 4:30pm.
HS Softball home @ 5pm.
JH Softball in Sarcoxie @ 5pm.
