First track meet held

South did really well on Monday. South athletes worked their "butts" off out there running against other schools.
South won a few medals in seventh grade 4x2 relay Alex Karns , Blake Putnam, Tolby Clemons, and Jeffery Terry got second place, Matt McCoy took third in shot of the distance of 38.9 ft, Kelley Leach got 65.5 for discus and for shot she got 34 feet and finished in second place.
At the meet, all of us were cheering each other on. It was wonderful feeling the wind rushing by your face and the sweat dripping off your arms and face. The best feeling of all though is passing that finish line at the very end. When you're at a track meet, it goes pretty fast- one race after another so you have almost no rest point but it's all worth it in the end. We have our next track meet on Friday in Neosho at 4 p.m. Wish us luck
