MS Track & Field: Dozens of students awarded at Murrieta Middle School Championships

Four local middle schools competed in the Murrieta Middle School Track and Field Championships early last week; while no clear winner was determined in any of the info provided, dozens of students were awarded for their achievements.

Dorothy McElhinney Middle School, Thompson Middle School, Shivela Middle School and Warm Springs Middle School competed in the event held at Murrieta Mesa High School, where many of the participants will go after their promotions from middle school.

The event is held every year at a different Murrieta Valley Unified School District high school, and provides middle school students with the opportunity to compete in track and field events much like what they would experience on a high school track and field team.

Students from sixth grade to eighth grade were invited to participate in the competition in events ranging from shot put to different team relays. Event winners were given ribbons to commemorate their victories.
