The Benton girl’s track and field team participated recently in the Triad Indoor Invitational that was held at Principia University. No team scores were kept and teams participating included Mahomet Seymour, Marshall Co KY, Jerseyville, Triad, Alton, Carbondale, Cahokia, Granite City, Mascoutah, Metro East Lutheran, Madison, and others.
Benton coach Andy Sloan said the meet is a great starting point for the season.
“It was nice to for our kids to get the opportunity to compete against some really good competition at this indoor meet,” said Sloan. “Several of them have been training all winter, and like all sports, after a while practicing gets old and you need a meet to see where you are. Hopefully we will continue to build from some of the success we had as we move forward with our indoor season. We are fairly inexperienced so I didn’t know what to expect but the kids really competed well and the effort was outstanding.”
Benton girls’ track will compete this Friday at the SIU Indoor.
