A dual meet for the Cougars, along with the JV league finals, made for a busy week in track and field.
On Wednesday, April 27 the team had its last dual meet in Hughson. Again, lack of athletes in some events hurt the squad, losing out on some potential points. The varsity boys lost by a final of 102-34 to the host Huskies. The girls were more competitive but still ended up on the wrong side of the 87-45 score.

“At the TVL Frosh Soph finals our boys finished fifth and girls finished fourth with Ripon winning both divisions,” noted head coach Carrie Nash. “It was a very competitive day on the track and field. The TVL has always been strong and this year was no different. For some of our athletes this was their last meet, but many others will advance on to the TVL Varsity finals on May 5 in Riverbank.”
For the TVL Varsity finals, each team is allowed to enter three athletes in each event.
“With our teams being on the young side, many of the frosh/soph kids will get another chance to compete on Thursday. It will be another opportunity for them to work to improve their times and marks,” Nash added.
The top three athletes in each event will qualify for the Section meet. Field events start at 3 p.m. at Angelo Novi Field in Riverbank on Thursday and the running events start at 6 p.m.
