The Petersburg boys took fourth place at the meet. Thunder Mountain took first place by a large margin and Sitka and Ketchikan tied for third.
Petersburg’s track team left town last Friday on the ferry at about 5 in the morning and were competing at the meet later that day.
The Petersburg girls came away with several first place finishes in the individual events.
KFSK’s Angela Denning spoke with Coach Brad Taylor who was excited about the win:
