This article submitted by Joshua Jones on 4/21/99.

Boys track The Paynesville Bulldog boys' track team hosted a meet on Monday, April 12. There were 10 teams competing at the meet. This was probably the biggest meet until Sub Sections which is a ways down the road.

The guys did very well placing third behind Litchfield and Atwater-Cosmos- Grove City (ACGC).

Conditions were not real bad for as early in the year as it was. It was partly cloudy and 50 degrees with a little bit of wind.

Paynesville's Jeff Voss took both the 110-meter high hurdles and the 300-meter hurdles. Voss also placed second in the pole vault.

Senior Josh Jones was back in action after missing a couple of weeks due to a pulled muscle. Jones placed first in the triple jump and third in the long jump.

Paynesville's 1,600-meter relay team did really well taking second place with an outstanding time of 3:34.62. For this time of year, when everyone is getting into shape, this was a really great time.

The 1,600-meter relay team members are: Jones, Voss, Eric Rausch, and Luke Trees.

Paynesville's next meet will be on Thursday, April 22, in Willmar.
