Region indoor track meets are coming up in the next week, but outside. Salem and Glenvar will run in “Polar Bear” meets on high school tracks.
The Region 4D meet was scheduled for Tuesday of this week at Amherst High. The top three in each event will advance to the state meet on Monday, March 1, at Liberty University. That will be outside.
Salem competed in a polar bear meet at Franklin County last week, mostly for distance runners. Tommy Henzey and Walker Peterson both ran PR’s in the 1600 and Lance Topanta ran a very good 1,000 meters
The Region 2C meet will be held on February 17 at Auburn High School. The Glenvar team ran outside at Hidden Valley on Saturday and had some strong performances.
The GHS girls took first place over all with multiple first place wins by Carly Wilkes in the 1600 and 3200, Sydney Loder in the 300, Carrie Horrell in the 500, Molly McCroskey in the Shot Put and Sydney Loder was 2nd in the 55.
For the boys, Colvin Delano had an outstanding day, taking first in the 55 and 300. Bryant Loftis took second in the 500 along with Daniel Zearfoss in the 1000.
“Going into this season we were unsure of what we would be able to do, but we needed to be ready no matter what,” said coach Bekka Loder. “I think these past three meets have shown how hard the kids have worked this season, even with the possibility of not competing.”
