After a couple of “false starts,” the New Hampton boys track team finally found its way outdoors on Tuesday.  And it was worth the wait for the Chickasaws, who got three victories and a number of strong performances on their way to a second-place

If the Chickasaw girls were anxious to start their outdoor season, it showed as they opened by capturing the title at Charles City Tuesday.    Seven teams were in the mix and New Hampton ran away with the win, scoring over twice the points of the

With no seniors on the roster last year, Turkey Valley’s boys track team didn’t lose any talent to graduation, but they do have a ton of it coming back.    In his 19th season, coach Mark Scott will be able to work with 16 returning lettermen, incl

For the first time in years, the New Hampton boys track team does not have an athlete returning with state meet experience.  The Chickasaws are also not the deepest team around, either, as coach Scott Frerichs' roster contains just 20 student
