It can be done, but can’t be easy. Tak Fudenna stadium at Washington HS in Fremont is shared by 5 schools, with several games played on Saturdays.

Agree, the place certainly looks more like a college campus. They mentioned that 3 of the local high schools share the field for football?? Wonder how they do that? Thur- Sat games? Stay dry tonight, it’s raining already!

S1lverngreen,
Hard to believe that place is a high school facility, huh? Really a great spot. I was leery when I first heard they were moving this to a high school, but not anymore. If you haven’t yet, go check out the baseball stadium. It’s incredible.

Just got back from Buchanan, great day of racing. Wind legal sprints on most of the events. Weather was perfect! Good to see some of our hurdlers from the North getting their groove on. Wilson, Grimble, Walker and Barton all going to the big dance tomorrow night. A bit of a disappointment for the northern relay teams with Deer Valley (Girls) 4×100 and 4x 400 team being the only school moving to the show on Saturday. Looking for big things tomorrow from Brewer and Frazier! Can’t say enough good things about this great venue! Great place to have the big dance! Go North!

Ciarra Brewer and Sasha Wallace both advance to the finals in the triple jump. Brewer opened with a wind-legal 42-8 1/2, then improved to 43-2 1/2 wind-legal on her second and final attempt, as she was the No. 1 qualifier. Wallace was the No. 6 qualifier with a best of 39-4 1/2 wind-legal on her final attempt.
