The Alliance track meet conditions were cold, windy, and miserable. It made for a day of not great times, but Cody-Kilgore picked up some placings.

Tuesday was a great day for a track meet in Neligh, NE. C-K athletes worked very hard and saw success throughout the day.

The highlight of the day came when CK freshman Aubryanna Schmit broke the previous CK girls shot put record of 35’ 5” set by Urte Noreikaite, an exchange student from Lithuania that spent the year at CK in 2023. Schmit’s toss of 36’ 10.5” broke the previous record, though Noreikaite still holds the CK discus record of 126’ 9” also set in 2023.
