Track season finally underway

The Sundance track team had their first competitions this past weekend, participating in the Mick Tonkel Classic in Upton on Friday and the Center of the Nation track meet in Belle Fourche on Saturday.

Despite the blustery weather, the Bulldog team competed well, seeing multiple place in the top of their events.

Keaton Mills started his season placing first in the high jump for both invites, reaching 5-10 in Upton and upping his jump to 6-0 in Belle Fourche. These jumps qualified him for the state meet.

Parker Skeens also took a top finish in the 800M run with a time of 2:27. Skeens was followed closely by teammate Catch Downey, who came in 3rd with a time of 2:28. 

The Sundance teams had three relays qualify for the state meet over the weekend. On the boys' side, the sprint medley and 4x800 teams qualified and the girls had two sprint medley teams qualify, one at each meet. 

The Bulldogs will hope for warmer weather as they look to compete on Tuesday in Wright and in Douglas on Friday.
