Originally uploaded by dr.coop
The Deer Valley girls and boys track teams looked great again in today's three way meet with San Luis, Brophy and Xavier. There were some much anticipated matchups, but a few just didn't matriculate. The meet was just as exciting none the less. The Skyhawks looked great in both the field events and on the track.
High flying sprinter Nate was captured here soaring through the air on one of his long jump attempts. Nate also competed in the 100, 200 and 4x100m relay. Click the link to see more action photos from this week's meet on the Meet 3 Photo page. https://dvtrack.pbwiki.com/08Meet3Photos
