Dexter, MO - The Dexter Bearcats held their first home track meet since 2016 and it was a special afternoon featuring the 2021 graduating seniors. 

In 2017, the track was deemed unsafe for competition because of cracks in the surface. With the recent $15 million bond issued passed by voters in April of 2019 the Dexter School District created a new track at Charles Bland Stadium and created areas for triple and long jump, a pole vault runway and a javelin area.  The shot put and discus areas have also been updated.

Seniors and their families were honored.

Caleb Coons is the son of Holly and Joshua Coons.

Caleb is a member of the Bearcat Wrestling, Football, and Track team.

After Caleb graduates, he plans on attending a technical school and working in the robotics field.                                               

His most memorable moment at DHS was when he went to state for wrestling his junior year.
