Track season has begun and the Lady Broncos proved they were a force to be reckoned with. The ladies finished fourth as a team at the Pantex Relays in White Deer last weekend and had four first-place finishes.
Brilynn Bruce got things started in the 200-meter dash taking the top spot at 28.74, and Emmarie Holland was fourth in the 400m race with a time of 1:10.13.
Senior track standout put the icing on the cake with two first-place finishes in the 400m and 1600m races. Benson is no stranger to the winner’s circle and gave the Lady Broncos a big boost in the team standings with her wins. Benson’s time in 800m was 2:32.05 and 5:56.11 in the 1600m. Holland was third in the 800m with a time of 2:48.97.
Laken Smith out-jumped the competition with a leap of 16’3 ½” in the long jump to claim the gold and was second in the triple jump of 32’8” that was just a little short of the first-place distance of 24’5”.
