The track season has come to a close. The RPAC Athletes showed up at Burke with some impressive marks and brought home a lot of hardware. DCS swept the team titles to clinch their first in school history.
Based on our research, Max was the Boys 1932 State Track Champions, but these titles are the first in school history for Dundy County Stratton.
We chatted with Coach Mike Spargo about the team titles. "You look around at all the state championship banners, and you look back at the last girls and boys title was (went to the same school), and we are kind of in a special group, and this is a special group, so it's kind of a fitting end to the year," said Spargo.
Looking at the NSAA History page, in Class D, North Platte St. Pat's boys and girls swept the team titles in 2022 and Giltner in 2015.
"Everyone says track is an individual sport. We try to preach it as a team, starting with the relay groups and understanding that it takes four people to work together to win and achieve. Yeah, we all do individual events, but you look at where the team scores go and how the points add up. It takes everyone and every point to win the state championship," added Spargo.
