Tennis update from Coach Dufresne about their away matches against Dillon yesterday:
Bleary eyed early morning. Check. Blizzard upon arrival in Dillon. Check. Team bonding in the Patagonia Outlet waiting out the storm. Check. Great day of tennis when the sun came out (in spurts). Check. Wind. Check. Graupel. Check. Sleet. Check. Camaraderie over a pool table, juke box and dinner at Papa T's. Check. Clutch piece of bus driving through a windy, low visibility Big Hole winter storm. Check. Spending a classic Western Montana spring day of tennis with one heck of a group of student athletes. Priceless.

Individual athletes set the tone early and throughout the day the success continued with 25 personal records. Placing in the top 6 for any event at this meet is challenging, so check out these jaw-dropping highlights.

*Chesnee Lawrence tied our school record with an 11’ 0” pole vault.

Field events start at 4:30 with the pole vault and at 5:00 with BOYS shot put, long jump, and high jump and GIRLS discus and triple jump.

When the community supported our plans to renovate and make additions to Daly Elementary School the district had planned to sell the Washington property. Those plans changed and there are good reasons why.
