Scout's project will fix field shortfalls

Reniff Herndon will fix what's wrong on the track and field facility the local high school team uses to practice, hopefully this year, for his eagle scout project.

Herndon will address recent changes handed down from the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association that changed standards for the long jump and shot put pits, placing those at the former middle school in Grand Coulee out of compliance.

If he can't get it done before the end of 2019, he'll get the corrections made before the track season gets too far along next spring, he told the local Rotary Club recently.

Rotarians Lars Larson and Roy Hamilton donated the wood materials required for the project, and Coulee Hardware is donating some equipment time.
