The Jordans and Picketts roar again for Encampments

The Encampment Tigers track and field team has been making its mark in recent track meets.

Last week, the Tigers added other athletes in top finishes with the Jordan and Pickett siblings getting things done as they prepare for regionals.

Encampment had an impressive two days of track meets in Torrington and Baggs. Willford said opportunities are coming his team’s way and they are going to take advantage of it.

“It was great for the athletes to get one more opportunity to compete before we go to regionals,” Wilford said. “It was also great for our athletes to get the opportunity to try some different events they don’t normally do”.
