The Shakopee track and field teams will not participate in the
state True Team meet.

525. Farmington won the boys meet with 755.5 points while the Eastview
Lightning won the girls meet with 839.5.

“The competition is very tough at these meets,” girls head coach
Kathy Carlson said. “Eastview was strong and Prior Lake and Apple Valley were
very close for second place.”
