Tiger head track coach Rich Urquidi was pleased with the all-around efforts by his teams at the meet.

"I thought both the boys and girls ran well. We placed in a lot of things. Obviously the girls won the meet pretty easily, and the guys got second to Skyview, but I thought that they competed with them in most of the events, so it was another good week."

The Tigers go to Columbia this Friday for a four-way meet. Coach Urquidi is looking forward to the meet.

"It's Columbia, Middleton, Bishop Kelly and us, and that should be a good meet. It's our last conference meet basically before district. I think Middleton and BK are the girls teams to beat, and in the boys, Middleton is always tough, and I think the Columbia boys are pretty tough."
