Perkins County kicks off track with pre-season meet

Grant Tribune Sentinel

The Perkins County track teams competed in a pre-season meet at E. Lee Todd track in Grant on Thursday, March 23.

Other schools competing were Chase County, Dundy County-Stratton, South Platte and Wauneta-Palisade. No medals or team scores were awarded. Coach Shayne Hite said the meet is more of a practice meet for the athletes to get their marks for the season. 

It was a meet “to see what they were capable of, because some of them we just didn’t really know what to expect yet,” said Hite. They also use the meet to determine who will compete in the Ogallala Invite, as it’s varsity only. 

Sore muscles due to the start of the season and fatigue are the only injuries reported thus far. 

The boys took first in five events. Senior Derek Sis won the 100 with senior Bailey Schrotberger following in second. Freshman Alex Patrick took first in both the 200 and the long jump. The 400 was won by senior Bryce Wilson, and Caden Waitley took the 800. 

Hailey Snyder placed second in the 400 and triple jump.
