“We are very proud of our kids. We help our own and won a few events outright,” Head Coach Casey McWethy said.
The Three Forks boys’ team had two individuals finish first, with Garrett Golding winning the 800 with a time of 2:12.62 and Beau Johnston winning the 1600 with a PR time of 4:52.41. The 4x400 relay team also finished in first place.

“Seeing our kids push each other and encourage each other during these first meets has been inspirational. When our kids aren’t competing, they find teammates and go encourage them. We like the connection this group has,” McWethy said.
WEEKEND RESULTS
Before the Van Kuren Invite last Saturday, McWethy said the competition in Cheney should help push the group headed there to new heights and bring out the best in them.
