From Coach Kristina Kelsey:
MCJHS Girls Track team competed in a triangular event at Carmi on April 19th.
MCJHS placed third in the meet with a score of 34. Carmi won the meet with 73, and Fairfield placed second with 57 points. The team performed well, and several personal bests were made. This season has been challenging due to cold rainy weather resulting in meets and practices being canceled. I am proud that this team has maintained a positive attitude and continues to improve every meet. The next track meet for the team is Thursday at Salem.
