Italy High School competed in their second track meet of the Spring at Scurry-Rosser High School. Although we did not “place” in most of the races, we did compete and continued to improve on our times. All of the kids were close to placing in their respective races! I am very proud to be a part of a great group of young men! — Coach Nate Skelton
