Broncos return home to compete in the Undeberg Invite

The Lind-Ritzville/Sprague track and field team are preparing for competition as they host their first meet of the season: the Undeberg Invitational.

With nearly 600 athletes expected to compete, the Broncos are prepped and ready to be contenders at the annual invitational track meet.

Field events begin at 10:45 a.m. at Jimmie Snider Field, followed by running events at 11 a.m. Bronc Boosters will have the concession stand open for the duration of the event.

Local residents are encouraged to come support all of the athletes competing in the meet. Named after Harold Undeberg, he was a supporter and encourager of all young athletes and practiced positivity at every meet he was involved in as a starter.

The women’s team placed fourth with 77 points. The men’s team placed seventh with 26 points.
