Fifth graders from 23 elementary schools (pictured) across the district gathered for the annual meet, hosted by the district’s Health Fitness Program. The event kicked off with a Parade of Champions, where students proudly marched with banners and school T-shirts to show their pride. Students showed their skills in events such as the 4x100-meter relay, 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash, shot put, discus, and long jump. Rummel Creek Elementary School students Carter Woodward, Oscar Rincon, Jude Alaniz, Austin Nguyen, Izzy Brasil, Lucy Frysinger, Faith Ann Monteverde, and Kennedy Gentry were among those who showcased their track skills.
