The Tri County Northeast track teams continued to show growth and improvement at the Homer Invitational on April 17th.
The girls’ team finished third, just short of a runner-up position to Wisner-Pilger. While the boys’ team finished sixth in the 11-team field. Several individual performances were turned in on the day.
Leading the boys’ squad was senior, Bryan Isom. Isom captured two gold medals in the 300 hurdles and the triple jump. Isom ran 41.15 in the hurdles, while posting a jump of 42’9” in the triple jump. Isom also earned a medal for a third-place finish in the 110 hurdles with a new cooperative time of 15.70 and he also earned a silver medal running on the 4x100 relay team. Senior, Jackson Belt is slowly getting back to his two previous seasons in the high jump, as he won with a 5’10” effort.
The Lady Wolfpack flirted with a runner-up finish led by multiple athletes. Bre Millard won gold in the 100 and 300 hurdles, while earning a third gold in the 4X100 relay and a silver medal in the100 dash. Kiya Tornez won gold in the 100 and 200 and earned gold in the 4x100 relay. Tornez also had a fourth-place finish in the long jump. Senior Mica Tornez had her career day, earning a gold medal on the 4x100 relay, a fourth-place career best in the shot put, a sixth-place finish in the discus and a fifth-place sprint medley relay medal.
Next action for the “Pack” will be Tuesday, April 22nd at the L-C-C Invitational. Start time is set for 12:00 p.m.

COACHES COMMENTS: “We tried a few new wrinkles today and the athletes responded very well. Our reliable upperclassmen performed very well. If anyone new to the coaches popped into our radar it was Rachael Bousquet in the 400. Our teams are getting better each time we perform, and the last half of the season is going to be interesting. Our focus is going to be on the Lewis & Clark Conference meet in two weeks. There will be high expectations. The athletes will continue to be a work in progress, but at their current rate, they will be ready to make a run. GREAT JOB TODAY!”
