The Arcadia boys and girls track teams didn’t have a lot of depth at the Northern Badger Classic on Saturday, but they did manage a few top-three finishes.
The Raider boys team finished eighth overall with three top-three finishes at the meet held at University of Wisconsin-Stout in Menomonie. The Arcadia girls were 17th with their only place-winner taking first and tying a school record in the process.
Arcadia isn’t slated to compete again until April 12 when they run in a meet at Holmen.
