HILLSBORO — The Miami Trace High School track teams had a successful go of things at the Hillsboro Invitational held Thursday, April 20.
The Miami Trace girls team won the meet and the boys team finished third out of seven schools.
The Lady Panthers scored 149 points, outdistancing host Hillsboro who placed second with 123.5 points.
McClain won the boys meet with 146 points, followed right on their heals by Hillsboro with 145 points.
Miami Trace scored 139 points.
“It was a great night for the Miami Trace track and field teams at the Hillsboro Invitational,” Miami Trace head coach Brent Noes said. “The girls finished first and the boys finished third. As a staff, we were proud of the entire girls team. Everyone contributed to the effort. The girls are not acting as if we are a team full of freshmen and sophomores. They are improving every time we compete and are beginning to compete as upper-classmen.
“We were also proud of the effort on the boys’ side, but we are not completely satisfied,” Noes said. “We felt like we could have competed a little better and with only seven points separating first place and third place, we felt like we kind of gave one away. Our goal for both teams is to continue to see improvement as the season begins to wind down.”
The Miami Trace girls team recorded seven first place results.
Aubrey McCoy won the 800-meter run in a time of 2:46.
