The Van Horn Eagle Track Team hosted our 2nd High School Track Meet of the Season. We would like to extend the greatest Thank You to everyone involved in the Eagle Relays. It was a great success and once again these events cannot be hosted without the exceptional people that work together. It takes an awesome community and district to host successful events and we have just that. I could not possibly single out everyone that played a tremendous part in this weekend’s meet, but we had the best help in the concession stand, the best meet workers, and the best support staff. Thank you for all your support! Below are the results of our Eagles.
