Kee girls track team finishes in middle of the pack at Sumner- Fredericksburg’s Frost Bite Open shortened by falling temperatures

The Kee girls track team’s first taste of outdoor competition was a bit shorter than originally planned, as the Tuesday, March 28 Frost Bite Open hosted by Sumner-Fredericksburg threatened to live up to its name. Coaches and meet officials agreed to call off the meet partway through the running events due to falling temperatures, but through the 12 events that were completed the Kee girls tallied 54 points to tie for fourth place with the host Cougars behind one event victory and two each of second- and third-place finishes.

That Sumner-Fredericksburg meet ended up being the Kee girls’ only competition of this past week, as the North Fayette Valley Invitational scheduled for Friday, March 31 was canceled due to stormy weather. The Lady Hawks were next scheduled to compete Tuesday, April 4 at Postville before taking part in the Decorah Invitational Thursday, April 6. The Kee girls will then compete at the Waukon Early Bird Invitational Tuesday, April 11 before traveling to MFL/MarMac Thursday, April 13.
