Raider Track competed in its first two-meet week with a meet at Tonasket March 31, then in Deer Park April 3.
“The Raider boys scored well in the sprints and throws,” Head Coach Lori Adkins said. “The team aspect of Track & Field was deep in those events.”
At Tonasket, Nathaniel Hall took second in the 100-meter dash in 12.85 seconds. Then in the 200, Hall’s 25.27 time earned him the gold.
