LEAGUE DUAL MEETS END WITH A BRUIN SWEEP!

I received the email below from a Bear River Track and Field enthusiast....

 Congratulations to the Bear River Track and Field Team for pulling out victories in the Varsity Boys and Girls division at the Colfax dual meet yesterday.  The boys won 67-56 and the girls won 96-37.  Special recognition goes out to the 4 x 100m relay team of DeVaughn Lofton, Brad Botsford, Caleb Johnson, and Austin Dowling who set yet another school record with a time of 45 seconds.  Congrats to Jacob Robinson who won the pole vault by clearing 12 feet 6 inches and jumped himself into 2nd place within the Pioneer Valley League.  Thanks to Savannah Wells for her overall performance; 1st in the 100m and 300m hurdles and 2nd in the triple jump, which accounted for 13 points in helping the girls post a victory.  Next up is the Kays/Ostrom Nevada Union Invitational on Friday, May 4th.  This is a huge meet with 28 teams from across the northern section competing one last time before league finals start.  Go Bruins!  (Kevin Vasquez)

The Bear River Bruins traveled to Colfax for a rivalry varsity high school baseball game on Thursday afternoon.
