There has been one constant for the McDermitt High School track and field team — its group of throwers in the discus and shot put. That was on full display once again this past weekend at the Northern 1A Regional Championships at Douglas High School in Minden.
Since the start of the season in late February, the Lowry High School girls track and field team have proved to be one of the best in northern Nevada, regardless of classification. That was on full display this past weekend at the Northern 3A Regional Championships at Douglas High School in Minden. The Buckaroos ran away with the team title with 156.33 points, defeating Truckee (112.5) and Elko (100.33) and South Tahoe (100.33).
As it has been all year, the final week of the regular season in the Northern 3A East is going to be crazy — all except for one team. Churchill County has secured the No. 1 seed from the East for the regional tournament but the final three seeds are anybody’s to secure. Elko is currently second at 7-5, with Lowry, Spring Creek and Fernley tied at 5-7. Only the top four advance to the postseason. Lowry travels to Dayton, Spring Creek visits Churchill County and Elko travels to Fernley.
