The Ord High School track and field teams got their season started this last Saturday at the annual UNK Indoor Invitational. The team competed in the C/D portion of the meet. “There were not a lot of teams at the meet, but it was a great meet for us to get started”, Coach Derry Trampe commented. “It was fun to watch our kids compete again this year. We have some very competitive athletes on our team this year and they showed that on Saturday. I am looking forward to seeing how we progress as the season continues.” No teams scores were kept in the meet that featured Hastings, North Central, Ord, and South Loup.
