Head Coach Jack Tarr said the Malcolm teams competed very well against some great competition at the Centennial meet.
“The athletes came out and competed very well against some very good competition,” Tarr said. “We use this as a gauge on how well we can do at conference, as it tells the coaches which spots we may have a chance to medal in.”
The ECNC conference meet will be held May 2 in Adams.
