Moapa Valley Progress
The Moapa Valley High School Track and Field teams travelled back to Boulder City last week, where they participated in a dual meet with the Eagles. It was a little strange that the Eagles and Pirates would dual each other and not have a third or fourth team in the mix. Boulder City would win both, as the boy’s events saw the Eagles outscore Moapa Valley 85-69 and the girls finished 75-70 in favor of the Eagles.
Despite the team losses, several Pirate individual athletes finished in the top three of their events. Cambree Pulsipher finished second in the 100 meters with a time of 13.5 and third in the 200 meters with a time of 30.6.
Caressa Solis finished third in the 100 meters with a time of 13.9.
