Girls second at Best of the Midwest track meet

    The Lady Longhorns finished three points behind McCook Tuesday, April 30. The 4x100 relay suffered a foul during the race causing them to be disqualified. The points that would have been scored in that race, most likely would have given the Longhorns the win.

    Ella Colson finished fifth in the 100 and 200 meter sprint. R. Rusher placed third, running a personal best time of 26.82, in the 200 and H. Rusher eighth.
    In the 400, Emily Randall ran a personal best, 1:01.87 and finished third with L. Mireles right behind running her personal best time of 1:02.44 to finish in fourth.
