The Raider Girls Track and Field squad closed out their regular season with a second-place finish at the Red Wing triangular meet on Thursday, May 18th scoring 57.5 points. Owatonna finished in first place with 104 points and Red Wing finished in third with 23.5 points.
“It was our last chance to compete as an entire team and get to see performances that will help our decision-making for who will compete on the Varsity lineups for Big 9 and Sections,” said girl’s head coach Janet Smith after the meet. “Our team had 19-lifetime bests for our returning athletes and the whole team posted 30 more season-best performances. Despite some poor air quality throughout the meet and some light rain at the start, it was a pleasant evening for some great competition.”
