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 rarity this time of year.
"Saturday was a solid day for the boys track program," commented head coach Chad Jamerson. "It was beautiful. The wind started to have an effect on the events as the day progressed, but overall...it was a great day!"
The Bearcats turned in some good performances considering it was their first meet of the year and against some great competitors. It was also DNOW weekend in Dexter so they traveled light on the number of athletes competing.
Jaxon King placed 3rd overall in a strong field of 800m runners.
"He had an impressive first two weeks of practice and it is showing," stated Jamerson.
Sawyer Rascher had a personal best in the shot put.
"We expect him, along with Caden Lee, to be stalwarts in our throws department this season," continued Jamerson.
Lee-Michael McDonald also had an impressive showing in a loaded 200 meter field. He got very close to his personal best in that race.
"McDonald came on strong at the end of the season in the 200m and is close to those marks this early in the season," Jamerson said. "All these athletes ( speaking of King, Rascher, McDonald) could have special years, along with others on the team."
