Just a few weeks after basketball, gymnastics, wrestling, dance and hockey finished their playoff runs, the Becker spring sports teams dusted off their golf clubs, mitts, rackets, lacrosse sticks and track shoes in preparation for th upcoming season.

 

The boys and girls track teams held a time trial indoors at the fieldhouse, hosting Pillager, Rocori and Big Lake. The baseball and softball teams scrambled and re-arranged their routines to accommodate the track event, finding space to throw, hit and play catch in the school gyms and workout rooms.

 

The first week in April typically marks most of the teams’ first games and meets of the year. Spring break is right around the corner and the weather outside is delightful.

 

 The boys and girls track teams have another home time trial meet Tuesday, facing off against Zimmerman, Rocori and Minnetonka — then they have their first meet of the year Friday at home against Granite Ridge Conference opponents.

 

The boys tennis team has a scrimmage April 2 at Elk River to kick off their start to the season. Their first regular season match is April 6 at home against Monticello.
