The ALCS/SAA Track and Field Athletes competed at the State Track Meet in LaCrosse on Friday and Saturday last week. The Boys are coming away with a State Runner-Up Division 3 Trophy 🏆. Dominating the meet was St. Ambrose sophomore Jonathan S. who is a 3x State Champ in the 3200m, 1600m, and the 800m! Jonathan ran in all three events on Saturday in the scorching heat and made it look easy. Well done to all the athletes and congrats coaches on a very successful season! Your hard work and dedication is evident and paid off! 🥈
