Frenship Tiger Track Closes Out Season at Regional Meet

The Frenship Tiger Track Team gave it their all at the Regional Meet. The two-day competition scheduled for April 19-20, had its challenges as the day 2 events were postponed to Monday, April 22 due to inclement weather.  

If it’s one thing that Tigers know how to handle, it’s competing under pressure. With a total of two dozen Frenship athletes participating in the Regional meet, the competition proved to be fierce, but the Tigers demonstrated true tenacity. Check out the Regional results.

We took more to Area and Regional than we ever had done before.”

I am so grateful to our Senior class, for their leadership and how they took care of our Track Program this year.  It was awesome to see them take ownership and they left it in better shape than when they got here. I cannot thank them enough.” 

Awesome work, Tigers! We are proud of you!
