Blackhawk track teams off to strong start

Submitted by admin1 on Thu, 03/23/2023 - 15:46

The PDC Track team kicked off the spring sports season indoors at the 16 team Tri-State large school invite hosted at UW-Platteville this Friday. While teams ease their way into the season with these indoor meets, it’s a great way to see where you are at against some great D1 and tough SWC schools.
The PDC girls came looking to prove last year’s 2nd place performance was not a fluke, and the boys came looking to have a day of their own against some great competition.  
The girls were able to squeak past Waunakee for a 2nd place finish with 56.50 points, despite missing a large number of our athletes. The boys competed, but not to the level they wanted coming in 8th with 33 points.
