On Sat. March 29 the track and field team will host the annual Igloo invitational meet.

“It’s always cold, so we’ll have to prepare for it. It’s always good competition though,” coach and former hurdler Elijah Mencer said. 

 At least six teams will be at the Igloo starting at 9 a.m. and going until around 4 p.m..

I’m a junior, I play basketball and I jump in track and field. I took Intro to Publications and really enjoyed writing about athletics and stories that came up throughout the year; so I joined Mountain Echo. If I’m not at school I’m probably with my friends, playing basketball, or sleeping while listening to music. I listen to all kinds of music but my favorite artists at the moment are Mac Miller and Frank Ocean.
