The Reeths-Puffer girls and boys track teams faced some incredibly difficult competition at Friday’s Ram Classic, an invitational at Rockford High School.
As R-P boys coach Don Ketner put it, “We battled some of the best competition we will see until regionals.
“These were tough results with the winds gusting to 50 miles per hour and the cold. I was really proud of the relays for doing their best.”
The girls team finished 15th out of a field of 17 while the boys finished in 17th place.
