“Most of the kids had three or four events, but still looked good and performed well even when they were tired,” he said. “This was the best meet of the season so far. They need to keep working hard; they are seeing the results.”
Panorama returns to action tomorrow with a visit to AC/GC, which is serving as the host site for the Coon Rapids-Bayard Invitational.
