Yuma High School’s track and field teams have an Easter weekend trip west on Saturday.
The Outlaws will be at the Broncos Stampede at Platte Valley High School in Kersey for their first competition in more than a week.
Yuma’s athletes enjoyed a good showing on a beautiful April day, last Thursday in the Wray Dick Evans Invitational. There were not any team scores available, just like the Yuma Bill Kalb Invitational earlier last week.
Both Yuma teams would have finished high in the standings.
The girls team keeps rolling through relays, winning three of them in Wray.
