From Coach Menken: "The Marion 7th Grade Girls Track Team turned in an astounding performance at the CPU Invitational on May 5! The team scored 97 points (tying their highest team points), placed third out of six teams, and exemplified what it meant to be a "TEAM." The team had several injuries/illnesses, the girls stepped up to make sure relays were filled, and they finished the meet strong. Way to go, Wolves! Coach Menken is SO proud of all of you!" From Coach Kenny: "The 8th grade girls track team traveled to Center Point-Urbana on Tuesday, May 5th ready to compete and they didn't disappoint. From field events to the end of the last race, our girls fought with heart, grit, and determination. They scored 89 1/3 points to edge West Delaware by 1/3 of a point to finish in 3rd place as a team. Shout-outs for this meet go to several girls who had never trained for an event, but were thrown into competition the day of the meet to cover for absent teammates! Without the efforts of Sienna, Emmy, Makayla, and Reese, our team would not have been able to score in two events and would have definitely finished lower in the team competition!" All VMS Track and Field athletes travel to West Delaware on Friday, May 8th to compete in the always tough WAMAC-East Division Conference Track Meet. Come and support the Wolves!

Indee Track & Field Report from Coaches Menken and Kenny: "The Vernon 7th Grade Girls Track Team placed 4th out of 8 teams Thursday night at the Indee Invite in Independence. The girls dealt with windy, cool conditions, yet were able to score 67 points with only had 23 team members! The team had so many incredible performances, new achievements, and showed so much grit that was just another reflection of the amazing group of young ladies they are! The 8th grade girls track team had several great efforts that led to the Wolves finishing in 5th place out of 8 teams. I was proud of their efforts and how they supported each other during a cold night of track. I was also proud that they demonstrated great character by coming to the aid of an opponent who struggled down the stretch of a race. They rushed to the track to assist a girl that clearly needed a little medical attention and care. Their parents/guardians should be happy to know they have raised girls that are good humans that care for others in their time of need. WELL DONE, WOLVES!!! The Track team travels to CPU on Tuesday, and Friday is the WAMAC Conference meet at West Delaware!"
