The Pierre Governor track and field team will have two different meets this weekend, today in Aberdeen and Saturday in Sturgis. The Governors will split the squads up to compete in one of the two events.
Both meets are varsity meets, but with the squads splitting, there will be more entries potentially for other guys and girls to compete at the varsity level. After competing at the O’Gorman Invite and also at the Howard Wood Dakota Relays last weekend, this will be the lone days of competition for the Govs this week. Pierre still has the Capital City Qualifier at home on Tuesday.
