Here is the order of events and schedule for the high school track/field meet at Cozad on Tuesday the 30th. Go Whippets!

A BIG thank you to all of the meet workers and coaches who helped with set up and running events at the SWC track meet on Saturday. This was a big event for our school and community, and we could not have pulled it off without the help of everyone! The meet went so incredibly smoothly because of all the folks who committed their time and effort. It was a fantastic day of competition in the field and on the track!!!

UPDATED SWC TRACK SCHEDULE! We have made an adjustment to the running event schedule for the SWC Championship Meet on Saturday April 27th. We will now start the running events at 12:00 PM instead of 12:30 PM and we will run a FINALS ONLY schedule for running events. This change was made in order to account for the storms that are predicted to move into the area between 4pm and later on Saturday. The full updated meet schedule is attached. **Field events remain the same as originally scheduled (prelims and finals)

Boys golf at Broken Bow has been CANCELLED for Friday April 26th due to forecasted storms.
