Dexter, MO - Dexter High School Track & Field opened at the Notre Dame Frozen Invitation on Saturday, March 19, 2022.  The name lived up to the nice cool weather on Saturday morning, but throughout the day the temps did creep up to a nice afternoon.

"I'v very optimistic about this upcoming season," commented Dexter head coach James DeBerry.  "We have several returning athletes that made it to State last year and we also have a handful of freshmen that I see getting us some points.  Practice has been great the past few weeks and we have just got to put our aces in their places!"

You will have two opportunities to see track & field in Dexter.  The Bearcats will host two meets on March 29th and May 3rd.

As far as returning athletes, Josh Alday will compete in the javelin.  "This is Alday's senior year," cominued DeBerry.  "I expect to see him picking up several meters this year."

RJ Farmer and Aniston Kyle made it to State last year as freshmen.  "I expect to see them progress in the 300m hurdles, 400m dash, and the 4x400m relay."
