WAC ACTION

Ceres High’s varsity track and field program swept host Los Banos during the opening week of the Western Athletic Conference dual-meet season.

“We had some great performances,” Johnson said. 

Ceres High’s girls prevailed, 93-39, on March 11.

“We won quite handily,” Johnson said.

Ceres High’s boys earned a hard-fought 74-61 victory.

“It was competitive,” Johnson said.

The Bulldogs might have competed for the final time this school year.

School districts in Stanislaus County suspended all athletic events, effective March 16, for the remainder of the month to prevent the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus).

“We were so excited for this year,” Johnson said. “We had 130 kids. They work hard and have great attitudes. We’re planning on the season resuming until we hear differently.”
