Track

With over fifty athletes on the NSHS track team and limited numbers of available entrants to events, the team members went to two separate events this past weekend to ensure everyone was able to participate, so half competed in the Nyle Norris Invitational, held in Richfield, and the Crimson Cliffs Invitational in St. George.

“This last weekend was a great weekend for our kids,” said Coach Eric Mason. “There were a lot of great performances and PRs that happened. From throwing events to jumping, hurdles, and running. These kids never cease to amaze me. Alli Mason, Tate Goble, Clayton Duckworth, Karla McCoy, Ciara Anderson, Jacob Johnson, and Tate Goble improved their marks tremendously just to name a few.  As we half passed our midpoint in the season I look for the athletes to settle in to their events they are improving on and to keep getting better week after week. This team has so much potential, and I cannot wait to see how we look at the region and state meets next month!”
