Track and Field Regional Championships -5-18-23

Mild temps, little wind.

The boys had a great day at the 2023 Regional Championships at Allendale.  To have so many personal records at a championships meet shows the boys ability to work well under pressure.  The team finished 5^th of 15 teams with 45 points.  Athletes placing in the top 8 in an event were All-Region and earned a medal.  This is also the meet used to determine state qualifiers.  Any athlete or relay placing in the top 2 automaticlly qualified for state.  Athletes not placing in the top two could also qualify by meeting the state qualifying time at the regional meet.
