"It was a big meet, with a lot of competition," said Mountain Home head track coach Rich Urquidi after the meet. "I'm real pleased. I thought our girls had a real good meet. We placed in pretty much all our relays, Coach Shrum put some good relays together today. Kacy (Barrie)'s doing really well in the hurdles, and so is Lauren (Kisner). Troi (White), her hamstring was kind of bothering her today a little bit, so she wasn't quite there, but I thought she ran well for being a little bit sore."

The Tigers go to Mountain View High School in Meridian on Thursday and Friday for the Treasure Valley Invitational.

"That's another big meet. We probably won't take a full group of guys, but we'll take our full group of girls there and do the best we can."
