Track & Field results

While the Blue Springs South boys team was in action last night, all three other area squads took to the track today and tonight.

South head coach Ryan Unruh: "Kind of where we are, it’s a good meet for us with a bunch of young kids and a chance at success heading into conference. It was a good measuring stick.

"She (Klausen) had never run the 3,200 before. I don’t know how excited she was about running it, but she hung with a couple of kids and she’s a good racer. She’s a strong girl and she used it to her advantage. I'm really pleased with her getting out of her comfort zone and running something she’s maybe not ready for and doing well.

"Moore is getting better and better each day. Hughes had a good meet in the relays and the long jump. Those two are a big part of what we’re trying to do in the relays. I think we might be able to make some noise in the 4x100."
