Last Tuesday, the girls' team traveled to Eureka to compete in their conference meet, where they faced tough competition. Despite not participating in every event at the meet, the team secured a 5th-place overall finish. Additionally, several individuals showcased outstanding performances, earning them all-conference honors. To achieve such recognition, competitors must place in the top two in their respective events. Some stand-out performances from this meet include:

-4x400 (Carsyn Langellier, Abby Bloemer, Kyra Denning, Danielle Strunk) placed 5th with a time of 4:34.82. Despite each runner feeling fatigued from participating in 2-3 events during the meet, they still came together and ran an impressive time to finish out the night.
-Kyra Denning ran a PR time of 48.04 in the 300m hurdles and placed 2nd. She was also the conference champion in the 100m hurdles running a time of 16.93.
