Coach Emily Lowry’s Comments: On April 24, 2026, the Northern Valley Middle School track teams competed in the Bullpup Relays in Osborne against eleven other schools. The morning started a little chilly and our athletes struggled to get warmed up but the afternoon had mild temperatures, sunshine, and no wind. Sixth and seventh girls competed together scoring 29 total points placing 6th and the eighth-grade girls scored total 8 points placing 9th.
In the 8th division, Annika McKinney has a good javelin throw of 75’ 1” placing third. In the 6/7th division, Inez Schemper took home two bronze medals in the shot put and the javelin, Ryelyn Cox got the bronze in pole vault and fifth in the 100-meter hurdles, and sixth grader Joplyn McCue had a good day placing fourth in the 75 meter and fifth in the pole vault.
We look forward to the Quinter meet next week followed by the Husky Invitational on May 4 in Logan.
