Happy Administrative Assistant's Day!

It was a beautiful day for a track meet! Today, in appreciation of Matthew’s life and impact on the school, we officially named the high school home track meet the Matthew Wing Invitational track meet. Matthew Wing had a tremendous impact on our track program, school, and community. Matthew was a state qualifier in the 100m dash and still holds the school record for the 100m dash. We are so glad that the Wing family was able to join us today!

Sweet Springs Track & Field honored the senior track team members today at the Matthew Wing Invitational meet @ Sweet Springs. Thank you for your dedication and leadership. Best of luck in your future endeavors! #greyhoundgrit
