Mustang track athletes break records

Mustang Track and Field traveled to the Harlo/Park City Invite in Laurel Montana on April 30, 2022. It was a gorgeous day and athletes were primed to compete. By the end of the meet every Mustang posted a season or personal best. Furthermore, two Mustang High School Track and Field records were broken. Both records broken were in the jumps.

On your marks, get set. . .

Spring really is here. The days are getting longer, the sandhill cranes are back and athletes are out on the track, training to run faster, jump higher and longer and throw farther. Area coaches responded to a Q & A about their upcoming seasons.

BOYS 100 METERS

Flying Falcons

Twin Bridges track and field athletes performed well at the April 16 meet held at Park High in Livingston with girls placing second out of 10 teams with 94.5 points and boys placing third out of nine with 99 points. A number of personal records were made, as well as a school record in the 800-meter race.

Back on track

Sheridan track and fielders bounced back after a missed year of competition at the Frenchtown track and field meet on April 9. Unlike many early meets, where snow and wind greet competitors, the day of competition was held on a beautiful Montana spring day. It was a warm welcome for the athletes who had an unexpected year off last season.

Grab your discus – after missing out last season due to Covid, track and field season is back and underway. To usher in the spring sport, Harrison Track and Field Head Coach Heather Tyler-Hjelle held a throwing clinic on March 20, inviting other districts to join in.
