            Avery Moore led the way for Sigourney as he scored 30 total team points, including an 11.31 first place finish in the 100 M dash, as well as a 58.36 demolishment of his opponents in the 400 M hurdles and a second place finish in the long jump.

Here’s what Sigourney head boys track coach Jared Jensen had to say about his team’s performance, “I think we were very competitive tonight during our back to back meets this week. We had some good competition and responded well. Tyler Crawford ran a great 3200 in a time of 10:52.44, which is his personal best in the 4 years of high school track. Avery had another great night on the oval as well as a lot of other competitors. Things are coming together and times are starting to come down.”  

            English Valleys day was a little more difficult as their numbers were thin due to other activities including FFA. John Fisher added a point as did Thomas Glandon, while Caleb Peach, Clayton Moore, Sam Kingland and Jacob Glandon all added a quarter of a point. EV took fifth place in the 4x800 M relay to score two of their five total team points, running the 4x8 in 9:57.41.
