The Golden Warriors track and field team hit the ground running on Saturday, traveling to Whale Branch for the highly competitive Marwin Kline Invitational. With 15 teams battling for top spots, JPII was the only SCISA team in the mix—proving once again that we can compete with the best! Both the boys and girls squads sprinted, jumped, and threw their way to impressive 4th place team finishes, with several athletes taking home medals.
