The meet information for our Annual Sub Zero Meet scheduled for Saturday May 3rd is now available.   Just click the “MEET INFORMATION” Tab and download the pdf.

Prince George Track & Field Alumni Alyx Treasure made like it was 2012 and cleared a new personal best in the high jump at a meet in Tucson Arizona this weekend.  Alyx continues to enjoy a strong season with the Kansas State University Wildcats coming back from an injury.

Placing first in the event with a height cleared of 1.85m/6-00.75, Treasure secured No. 7 in school history. The height bested her previous career high of 1.84m/6-00.50 set at the Texas Relays in 2012 and was the best mark by a Wildcat since 2004.
