CONGRATULATIONS to our Belle Valley boys AND girls track team for an undefeated season against our conference teams!!! It was only a short 5 week season and our track athletes gave it their all! Yesterday, we wrapped up our track season by competing against 6 other schools in regionals, some who were not in our conference, and it was a VERY tough competition! Many Belle Valley athletes earned our school points, however our first and second place finishers added the most points to our score. With that being said, be prepared for the long announcements because we love to recognize those athletes!
Our girls team landed 4th place overall with these girls earning us points toward our score.

Our second place finishers scored us even more points which was Yasmin J. in discus and our 4 by 100 relay team RaNiyah W, Cassidy W, Alexica H, and Marvelous W. A special shout out to Marvelous W. getting first place in long jump, the 7th grade 100 and 200 meter dash and racking up a lot of points of our team. Although we didn’t earn the top spot, the girls gave it their all and were fantastic out there!
