Our Warriors headed to beautiful Bradenton, FL to compete in the 2024 FLYRA Middle School Track & Field Championship this past weekend. The team came well-prepared and took on some of the best track & field talent from across the state.
Showing no fear, and plenty of determination, our runners and throwers stepped it up and grabbed some medals and plenty of personal bests.
The complete results of the championship weekend are here and also here for the complete M.S. team results.
Coach Crate going over strategy and mental preparation.
