Congratulations to the Athletes, Parents, and all supporters of North Salem Track and Field. The return from the holiday break proved to be both successful and rewarding. The Track and Field Team competed in the following 3 meets:
Donny Dendy meet @ Rockland on Wednesday Jan. 6th:
The Dendy Meet was an opportunity for the majority of athletes to compete in races that are not typically run during a winter season. For example the athletes had the chance to run races such as the open 400,200 and 800 meter run. The team started the day off slowly but picked up the pace quickly and started to compete. The day finished with an exciting 4 x 400 meter relay.
