The true team state meet features the deepest teams in the state, and Alexandria is one of those teams, as both the boys and girls teams competed at the Class AAA true team state meet in Stillwater on Friday.
The Alexandria girls placed ninth in the 12-team field with a score of 806 meet points.
“To be able to compete as a full team, in front of a large crowd at a state meet where we had the opportunity to compete against the largest schools in the state, in the biggest class, was an experience that we will never forget,” Alexandria girls head coach Meghan Orgeman said. “It was one that helped challenge us in ways that will help prepare us as we move into our championship season.”
The Alexandria boys placed 12th with a score of 633.5.
“This track meet measures the depth and the strength of the track and field,” Alexandria boys head coach Mike Empting said. “We recorded 17 personal bests and scored 64 more points at this meet this year than we did in the 2022 season at this meet.”
