RESULTS

SPOKANE, Wash. – LC State Track and Field finished the Whitworth Invitational and Multis Friday with more standout performances. More athletes continue to show their talent, battling their way to victories and personal bests in Spokane on day two of the meet.
 
"I thought we performed well these past two days," Coach Cyrus Hall said. "We continue to make some good improvements. Everybody, from throwers to vaulters to hurdlers to sprinters, made improvements and I think everyone can come away from this meet in particular with something good for them. They can feel good about at least something. We had a lot of PRs and impressive performances and I really like where this team is heading and I'm excited to see what happens in the next couple weeks."
