Lady Bears Compete in Class 2 Districts

by Amber Solomon

On Saturday the Butler Bears track team traveled to Skyline High School to compete in the Class 2 District 6 Championships.

I am super proud of how my team of 11 came together to once again prove that strength doesn’t necessarily lie in numbers, but in the effort that is given by all!


As a team, the Lady Bears earned a 3rd place finish with 95 points!!


In order to advance to next Saturday’s Sectional meet, an athlete must finish in the top 4 places of that respective event.


Here are the top 8 place finishers who either advanced, and/or earned their team points.
