Maverick track and field celebrates seniors, prepares for postseason

MOSES LAKE — Athletes from the Moses Lake boys and girls track and field teams celebrated the team’s seniors on Thursday’s home track meet, the lone home meet of the season for the Mavs. Both the boys and girls split the meet; the Moses Lake boys defeated Wenatchee 86-64 and fell to Eisenhower 79-66, while the Moses Lake girls thumped Eisenhower 95-55 and lost 86-64 to Wenatchee. “When they were freshmen they had the first two weeks being out for track, then COVID hit,” Moses Lake Head Coach Nicki Weiland said. “Before they could even have their first meet, they were done for that season. That didn’t discourage them; (of that freshman class) we had 10 of the 26 seniors with us at the senior recognition on Thursday. They’re the backbone of this team.”
