Pioneers Tracksters compete at Havre Lions Meet

It was cold and windy-a typical track day in Havre, Montana. As one parent put it, 'It's better than no season at all," as was the case last year, with the entire year was lost. This track meet was the Lion's Invitational held at the Havre Middle School and was a big all-class track meet with 23 schools present representing class A, B, and C schools. Placing in the races was a significant achievement as each event had numerous athletes.

I got the track meet results online, and to be honest not too sure how accurate the results are, but I'll share it anyway. In the boy's 100-meter dash, which had 99 boys competing, for example.
