The Broncos returned home to Ritzville for the Undeberg Invite on Saturday, April 28. The annual event serves as a highlight for the LRS competitors.

The day started with a welcome address by Athletic Director Greg Whitmore, who took the opportunity to have a moment of silence for a Medical Lake track athlete who was killed in a car accident only two weeks prior to the local track meet.

The women’s team placed eighth with 32 points, led again by Schell who earned second place in the 100 and 200-meter sprints. Melville also netted a second place finish at the local event, this time in the 3200-meter race.

The LRS men’s team scored six points from a third place finish in the 200 by Anderson.
