The River Ridge boys and girls track and field teams both captured team titles at last Thursday’s Southwestern Invite, where the boys scored 207 total points to finish 41 points ahead of second-place Cuba City, and the River Ridge girls managed 157 points, which was one point ahead of the Lady Cubans.
On the boys side, River Ridge had a number of first-place finishers, which included senior thrower Elliott Thornton who won the shot put (50’5”) and the discus (111’8”) events. Already the holder of the school record in the discus, Thornton is now also the holder of the shot put record with last Thursday night’s performance.
