"It wasn't like the week before," said Mountain Home Tiger head track coach Rich Urquidi of the Bishop Kelly meet. "Bishop Kelly's always good, and it was a kind of a cold night. As soon as the sun set, it got kind of chilly, so the times weren't as good as they were the other night.

"We were down a little bit and some of the kids were missing. Spring break was starting and I think they were ready to get home and it was one of those nights where it was hard to get everybody focused on what was going on and getting their jobs done.

"We had a few good times, a few people improved, and I think we got a few more people qualified for district, but it was just one of those nights that I think about everybody was ready to kind of be done."

The Tigers are off this week for spring break, and will return to action next week with the Columbia Invitational at Columbia High School in Nampa on April 8.
