The Sailor Track & Field teams traveled to West Catholic on Tuesday, April 21, to face off against Middleville Thornapple Kellogg and the host Falcons. While the meet was not officially scored, the "friendly" atmosphere provided a perfect backdrop for athletes to chase personal records (PRs) and season-best (SB) times. Beyond the clock, the meet offered many Sailors a chance to step outside their comfort zones and compete in secondary events they don't typically run during high-stakes conference matchups.
