Yesterday the Butler Bears Track & Field season officially started. We traveled to the UCM Indoor Track meet in Warrensburg. With a good quality of kids returning and good kids just coming into the team, there are a lot of high expectations. The UCM indoor track is 220 yards instead of a normal outdoor 400 meter track. None of our kids have ever ran on anything like that before. There were 27 schools attending this meet. Here are the following results from yesterday.
Long Jump- Kaleb Kauffman - 7th place
400 Meter Dash- Austin Castandea- 5th place
Kyle Todd- 6th place
4x200 relay- Geoffrey Algiere- 4th place
Brett Miller

4x400 relay- Kyle Todd- 1st place

I am super proud of our kids. There was a lot of great competition and our athletes did not back down. Just an example of the amount of athletes entered an 1 event: In the boys 4x400 there were 8 heats with 22 teams. Everyone is extremely excited about the rest of the year.
This will be the first 1 in 12 years. Come on out and support the Bears.
The athletes did a great job competing yesterday at the Mule Relays. There were 22 teams so competition was high and we were able to see a lot of schools that we normally don’t get to compete against. All in all it was a great start to our season!
The top 6 place finishers earned medals.
High Jump- Amy Miller- 4th place
55m Hurdles- Kiersten Morris- 2nd place
55m Dash- Kayla Morris- 2nd place
4x220 yard relay- 2nd place
