There will be a new look to the calendar year for the upcoming Track and Field season for the participants who compete in the Cypress Hills Meet and the White Mud Track and Field Meet.

Athletic Coordinator Deb Reamer said they are combining the two meets into one meet to take place Wednesday, May 16 here in Swift Current. Both sections meets will be held in Swift Current to take advantage of the all-weather track and help reduce the number of cancellations due to weather.

These changes will affect the budget in a positive way, according to Reamer, as it would slice the cost it takes to run a track and field meet in half - reducing two meets into one meet. Reamer also said that combining the two separate meets will ramp up the competition in them by bringing in more athletes to compete in each event.

Earlier this year they moved the cross country running and golf competitions to the weekend to try to move the budget in the right direction.
