It was a historic opening night on the track for our Cougar Boys and Girls Track and Field teams at the Frostbite Invite! Competing in their first meet of the season, both teams secured impressive 3rd-place overall finishes, with the Boys outperforming a 10-team field and the Girls placing 3rd out of 12. Huge congratulations to Gavin Trask, who shattered the school record in the discus with a massive throw of 165'3" on his way to winning both the Discus and Shot Put titles. Jace Brinkman dominated the track with a triple-crown performance, taking 1st in the 100m, 200m, and 400m, while Kale Rucker earned 2nd in the 100m and 200m, Paxton Frost took 2nd in Discus, and the Boys Sprint Medley finished 3rd. On the girls' side, Braelyn Suckow swept the 100m and 200m, Livy Schoonover won the 400m, Jamie Jones took 3rd in Shot Put, and Sydney Zupke grabbed 3rd in the 800m. The Lady Cougars also showed incredible depth in the relays, with the Sprint Medley and 4x400 teams both taking 1st Place, and the 4x800 squad finishing 2nd. Way to start the season strong, Cougars!
