The Sault High Blue Devils track teams competed against 15 other teams in northern Michigan Friday afternoon at the Harbor Springs Ram Scram. The boys came in first place with a score of 85 points, while the girls were runners up to Petoskey, with a score of 73 points. Many Blue Devil athletes had a successful afternoon, setting personal records (PRs) in their events. Girls Head Coach Scott Menard reported both teams did very well. “Some of the toughest competition we will probably see all year. The boys and girls both competed well for not having been on a track yet.”
