The Dexter Bearcats Track & Field team opened on the road at the Notre Dame Frozen Invitational on Saturday, March 16, 2024. It was a beautiful day for track and a rarity this time of year.
The Lady Cats were highly competitive with the numerous high schools in attendance. They finished 7th overall out of the 21 teams competing from Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois.
Abbie Lloyd finished first in the Pole Vault.
"Our medalist was Abbie Lloyd," commented head coach Chad Jamerson "She continued to thrive as one of the top lady pole vaulters in the area. She participated in multiple events on the day and showed her leadership early in the season."
Karis Kennedy and Emma Pennington both had personal bests in the jumps according to Jamerson.
"All of our ladies 'showed up' and performed very well against a strong field of competition."
