Ladies Take Home Second Place Trophy, Boys Finish 6th to Close out Indoor Schedule

Yesterday, we competed in our first co-ed meet of the season as both the ladies and gentlemen of Westmont Track and Field made the trip down to Reed-Custer High School to compete in the Reed-Custer Invitational. Although we were shorthanded on both sides, missing a few athletes due to other commitments made well before track season began, our Sentinels put up many impressive efforts throughout the meet.

Ultimately, the boys team finished 6th with 44 points, and our girls team took home a 2nd place trophy with 98 points, just three points out of winning the meet!
