Strong showing by Falcon track teams

Annabelle DiStefano races in a distance run during winter break.

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú High School's indoor track teams didn't take a break during winter break - they were busy collecting medals and podium positions!

At the Tri-County Indoor Track League meet on Dec. 28, the boys' team placed first and the girls' team placed tenth. On Dec. 30, at the Viking Invitational, the boys' team placed third and the girls' team placed fourth. Both meets were truly team efforts - with student athletes who run and student-athletes who participate in field events, to individuals and the relay teams, all contributing to the Falcons' success.
