5th District Jr. High Track Championships

On Friday May 3, athletes from Grace, North Gem, and Tigert middle schools took part in the 5th District track and field championships.  Students in grades 6th thru 8th were eligible to participate.  Joining the three local schools were five other schools including Malad, West Side, Rockland, Aberdeen, and Sho-Ban.  As the buses began arriving at the host school, Grace, they were welcomed with a fresh blanket of snow on the ground.  The cold and wet temperatures would not deter the athletes however as they got right into the field events.  By the time the running events began a couple of hours later the snow had all melted and some sunshine was trying to break through the clouds.  When the meet concluded late in the afternoon the Grace Grizzlies finished with some of the best team scores.  The Grace girls came in second place as a team in both the 6th grade and Jr. High divisions.  The Grace boys would reign supreme as both 6th grade and Jr. High divisions ended as district champions.  With the large number of athletes we have only listed those that finished in the top three of their event.
