HT Outdoor Track runs circles around the competition at Pearl Invitational

From The Jefferson County Journal staff reports

PEARL, Ms — Student athletes representing Hewitt-Trussville Outdoor Track traveled to Friday to participate in the Pearl Invitational in Pearl Ms.

The 3-and-a-half-hour trip was certainly worth it as the Huskies made an excellent showing at the event.  The Hewitt-Trussville boys finished second out of 16 teams. The Hewitt-Trussville girls finished fourth out of 16 teams.  An outstanding showing for both.

The next event for HT Outdoor Track will be closer to home.  The Huskies will travel to Mountain Brook to participate in the Mountain Brook Invitational April 12-13.
