State track a lasting experience for competitors

Regardless of their performance, the state track meet leaves a lasting impression on competitors. For runners Will Kuenne, pictured at top, and Juan Venegas, they are just juniors and got some valuable experience in their quest to return to the state meet next year. For seniors Hunter Bartels and Dakota Wallin they closed their high school sports career with a trip to the state meet after qualifying at districts in the shot put.  (Johnson Publications photos)
