Track and Field Regional Championships
Allendale, MI Photos by Alexis Mercer Fremont, Grant and Newaygo track teams all traveled to Allendale on a rare Thursday afternoon for the Regional Championship which would determine who would earn Regional honors and who would head to the State Meet as both individuals and as a team. From Coach Somers: Mild temps, little wind. The boys had a great day at the 2023 Regional Championships at Allendale. To have so many personal records at a championships meet shows the boys ability to work well under pressure. The team finished 5th of 15 teams with 45 points. Athletes placing in the top 8 in an event were All-Region and earned a medal. This is also the meet used to determine state qualifiers. Any athlete or relay placing in the top 2 automaticlly qualified for state. Athletes not placing in the top two could also qualify by meeting the state qualifying time at the regional meet.
