Valley girls knew the UIC track meet in Monona, Thursday, May 8, would be a dogfight, and it was. The improving TigerHawks finished second to Central/Elkader, 126-101.5. Other teams in a close meet were Clayton Ridge (94), Turkey Valley (88.5), and South Winn (83), which finished second, third and fourth, respectively.

Head coach Mark Nuss stated, “The girls had a great meet. Central has a very talented bunch of athletes, but we were very pleased with our performances. We improved over most of our seedings and set some personal- and season-bests.”
