CALIFORNIA - The Pintos boys' track meet placed first in the Tri-County Conference Meet last Tuesday at California High School. The boys finished with 175 points, 57 points more than the second-place team, the School of the Osage.
"Everyone did what they where supposed to do and came through as a team to work together," said coach Jon Lindquist.
The boys 4x400-meter relay team broke the school record for the second meet in a row, this time with a time of 3:27.99. Josh Woodruff and Drew Norton combined to place first in four individual events, including both runners contributing to the first-place 4x400-meter team. All together, the team placed first in seven events.
The girls placed fifth with 85 points, five points behind Southern Boone and eight points behind Osage, who were fourth and third, respectively. The two lone first-place finishers were Ellie Wirts in the 200-meter dash, and the 4x800-meter relay team.
