Large Bridgeport track team waits on warm weather to clear field

BRIDGEPORT – With 30-plus athletes turning out for this season’s varsity track team, coach Mark Ward has a deep roster of specialists who have been practicing indoors and doing roadwork outdoors in preparation for their first meet.

The school had to cancel the Bridgeport Jamboree scheduled for March 19 due to the snow conditions.

Bridgeport is scheduled to host the North Central Washington Meet at 4 p.m. Thursday, March 28.

Ward said the date is “iffy, at best. We still have 18 inches on show on the field and lane one is still buried. We’ll see what the week brings.”

Bridgeport will be on the road at Cashmere for an NCW meet there on April 23.

The focus will shift back to Bridgeport on April 30 when the school hosts its annual Bridgeport Invitational.
