PIRATES BATTLE AT VAN-FAR

Coach Leach said the meet served as a valuable early-season opportunity for the team. “The kids did well at the Van-Far meet,” he said. “It was cold, but the kids ran pretty well. This was a practice meet with no medals given, so it is a long way up there, but it was good. I’m proud of the effort they gave.”

Carly Schollmeyer led the girls with a win in the 3200 (15:39.40) and added a third-place finish in the triple jump (30-9).
