A DAY AFTER THE PANTHER VARSITY SQUAD competed in the Section 3A Track & Field Meet a new generation of much younger Panthers hit the track Friday for their first competition. Grade school-aged kids in the TMB youth track program ran sprints, jumped hurdles, threw shot put and bent over backwards to clear the bar in the high jump. There was even a podium for the winners. TMB varsity track coaches and athletes assisted coaches at the event. ABOVE: From left, Sylvia Swick, Audra Swenhaugen and DeLacey Smith battle in the hurdles. Photos / Per
