The future is bright for the Greenwave track and field team.
Although the varsity girls and boys didn’t finish strong in last weekend’s Reed Sparks Rotary Invitational, Fallon finished fourth in the boys frosh/soph division with 105 points. Spanish Springs won both varsity divisions with 238 points in the girls and 220 in the boys, while Fallon tallied 16 points in the girls and 14 in the boys.
North Valleys totaled 118 points to finish the highest among the 3A teams, coming in fifth in the girls, while Spring Creek’s boys team finished fifth with 100 points to lead the 3A.
Competing with a smaller roster — Fallon’s spring break started the same weekend and the team didn’t compete in the relays — the Greenwave still had several finish in the top 10.
