WP took first in the girls’ 400 meter relay.
Monday, WP traveled to Cambridge for the rescheduled Medicine Valley Invite.
WP Head Coach Dawn Doetker said it was a very hot day, but coaches were happy to get their teams on the track rather than have the meet cancelled.
The Bronco girls set 11 and the boys 10 PRs.
Walker swept the 100 and 200 meter dashes.
Cali Cox and Alexa Sandman had the girls’ team’s best finishes, placing second in the long jump and 100 meter hurdles, respectively.
