Underclassmen are improving and track veterans are hitting state qualifying times in the Fountain Hills High School track team’s latest competition.

This weekend, March 29 and 30, the Falcons competed in the Ron Smith Classic. The boys team placed 20th and the girls team took 12th place overall in this massive meet.

The Falcon tracksters have just one invitational this week on Saturday, April 6 in, Sedona.

Head coach Nick Goodman said he was happy with how things unfolded at last week’s Ron Smith Classic.

“Shadow Mountain high school hosted a great event and Fountain Hills made some good marks in the running and field events,” Goodman said. “Our underclassmen continue to progress in their development while the veterans work toward the state championship in May.”

Senior Madison George qualified for another event in state, this time the 200m dash. George qualified with a time of 26.66.
