It was a windy, chilly, Friday, May 3, 2024 when Valentine hosted the Greg Gass Invitational. Coach Blake Beebout said, “I can’t thank everyone who helped out with our track meet enough. We were able to get the meet in, beat the rain, and the kids were able to compete in front of their home crowd. I’m very proud of our student-athletes and our community of helpers for their performance at the Greg Gass Invitational. I’m very excited to watch our athletes compete at Districts, especially with how well we did at our own meet. Both Boys and Girls brought home 1st place team trophies.”
