The WMC Track and Field teams took to the road this week, competing at the 7 team Carson City-Crystal Invitational. Both teams took advantage of the best day of weather this season, notching many PR's and season best times/ distances enroute to a 2nd (Boys) and a 4th (Girls) place finish. Big congratulations to Bri Warners, who cleared 8' 3" in the Pole Vault, breaking her own school record of 8' 0", set last season, and winning the event today! Highlighting the meet on the Boys side was the distance crew, which swept places 1, 2 & 3 in the 800, took 4 of the top 6 places in the 1600 and claimed 3 of the top 6 in the 3200.
