CNTC coming Monday

We're just three days away from the16th annual Central Nebraska Track and Field Championships sponsored by The Independent. It should be another interesting day at Memorial Stadium in Grand Island. The weather has prevented some of the athletes from performing at their best, but we'll likely see some outstanding performances on Monday.

Keep an eye on the Grand Island Senior High girls track team. The defending Class A state champions are likely to walk away with a bucket full of medals. Junior sprinter Allison Jorgensen has stepped up another level with this season. Jorgensen and defending Class A 100 and 200 champ Alex Armes could burn up the track in those events.

Armes may well run on the 1,600 relay as well which will shave several seconds off the Islanders' time.
