PRAIRIE CITY — Orange and black flags flew as the Prairie City Panther track and field team held the May 2 Invitational on their brand new track.
Grant Union girls won with 470 points, with Monument finishing second with 200, Ione third with 150 and Prairie City with 92.
For the boys, Ione won with 224, Grant Union placed second with 206, then Long Creek with 174, Monument with 130 and Prairie City with 116.
Prairie City athletic director Billy Colson said he believes it’s been 20 years since the school held their last home meet.
“I know it is exciting for those that helped because they have put a lot of effort into getting the facility to this stage,” he said. “There are a lot of community members that put forth a lot of effort, time and money over the past 10 years to get to this point. Through local partnerships as well as some grants we were able to finish the project so that all those that contributed over the years could finally see a finished product.”
The track surface work was complete last October, and the final touches, including recording equipment, were finalized last month.
If anyone missed last week’s event, Prairie City will host their second event, the High Desert League Meet, on Thursday this week.
Teams invited include: Adrian, Crane, Dayville, Harper, Huntington, Jordan Valley, Long Creek, Monument, Prairie City and Ukiah.
“We would love to have the community there,” he said.
