The Valdez Track and Field team traveled to Wasilla to compete
against 23 other teams this last weekend. Friday was absolutely freezing
and extremely windy, but Saturday brought the sunshine, and it was
glorious! Despite the cold and wind, on Friday, Kyle Petersen broke his
own school record yet again and took 2nd overall in Shot Put with a
powerhouse throw of 45’ 6”. All of the Buccaneer athletes competed
extraordinarily well, and many set new personal records
