PC recording time | Rodee Brow breaks school pole vault record
CASPER- Wheatland High School’s track and field season began on the road to Natrona County High School, where they competed in the Glen Legler Early Bird Invitational.
With a huge squad this year, Wheatland can be very competitive and early season training has been diligent for the track and field athletes, some of whom competed on the off-season indoor track team which teamed up with Douglas High School.
“The first two weeks of the track season have been a little tough in terms of weather,” said WHS head coach Matt Hazen. “We basically spent the whole first week indoors and we were on spring break this week so we missed a few athletes who are on vacation. Over the past few years the number of track and field team members has grown steadily and this year we have one of the biggest teams I’ve had since I was head coach. We currently have 65 athletes on the roster, which is extremely exciting.
“Overall, this first meeting went well. We had quite a few personal bests and Rodee Brow broke his own pole vault record with a jump of 14 feet. It was a bit cold and windy throughout the competition, but the athletes still gave their best and managed to start the season with decent marks to build on. I’m excited to see what the rest of the season has in store for us and excited to see these athletes continue to improve their scores and times throughout the season.
