“My [athletes] did excellent, it was an excellent day for Sedona,” SRRHS Track and Field Head Coach Harry Schneider said.

Girls

The Scorpions placed second in the team scores with 68 points, right behind Mingus Union with 89 points.

“The Verde Valley has the No. 1 and 2 place teams in the state for girls. That’s super,” Schneider said. “If we didn’t win it, we wanted Mingus Union to win it. They definitely earned it.”

Distance favorite Mykala Seresun won the 3,200-meter run with a time of 11 minutes, 27.35 seconds. She also placed second in the 1,600 in 5:10.04, setting the new school record in the event.
