“The conference was pretty competitive this season and the team performed as well as we anticipated during the conference meet in Cambridge,” said Sugar River Coach, Willy Johnson.  “Overall, we had 34 PRs tonight, which tells us that we are peaking at the right time as we start our road to La Crosse and the State Meet. We would have liked to placed higher for both boys and girls, but when looking at the conference as a whole we figured we got as many points as possible.  If we want to be back at the top of the conference, we need to increase our numbers, work hard and be committed throughout the season.”

The boys placed seventh and the girls placed third at the meet. On May 23rd Sugar River headed to a regional meet in Monroe and on Friday they will go to McFarland for a sectional meet.
