Track Schedule Has Different Look

The high school track landscape offers a couple of significant changes this spring.

The most substantial alteration involves the Super 1/Bob Reiswig Memorial invitational, the longtime meet co-hosted by Lake City and Coeur d’Alene. The meet has been canceled and isn’t likely to be resurrected.

The Super 1 - known as the Iron Horse Invitational for years when CdA was a one-high school town - has slowly been dying. It had become essentially an Inland Empire League invitational in recent years because of a date that conflicted with other meets in the region.

It had been the biggest invitational in North Idaho.

Most area teams have replaced the Super 1 meet with two other events. IEL teams will participate in the first Border League meet April 28 and all North Idaho teams will compete in the first District I All-Star meet (May 5 at Post Falls).

The annual Kellogg Invitational meet has been loaned out.

The Timberlake Invite will replace the Kellogg meet April 15. A well-overdue overhaul of Kellogg’s track is scheduled during April.

Timberlake coach Mike Alt said the date will be given back to Kellogg next year, but it’s his hope to stage a midseason invitational for Intermountain League teams in the future.
