 A cool, wet spring has definitely made the high school track season  much more complicated this year as the dates of several meets this past week were changed  because of inclement weather. But in spite of poor conditions, Watford City’s track teams are continuing to make big improvements in their performances.
At last week’s NW Conference Meet in Minot on Tuesday, the girls 3,200 meter relay team, consisting of Olivia Sundeen, Kristen Stenehjem, Stephanie Deutsch and Sibee Jokela,  turned in a state qualifying time of 4:18.16 to help the girls team to a second place finish, while the boys team won the conference meet.
And then on Saturday, the boys and girls teams both ran away from the competition to post first place finishes at the Watford City Rotary Track Meet.
“The girls are running extremely well,” states Greg Brown, head girls coach. “We are close to qualifying marks, but need just a bit more practice.  The hard work is paying off and will continue to pay off through the rest of the season.  As long as they keep working hard in practice, good things will happen at the end of the year.”
The next meet for the Wolves will be on Saturday when the varsity teams compete at the Shiloh Christian Invitational at the Bismarck Community Bowl.
