The Moffat County High School track and field teams earned their Spring Break respite with a solid performance Friday at the Broomfield Shootout. The girls took 12th place and the boys were 24th in the large event that had 30 schools in attendance.

Sprinter Kayla Pinnt remained fierce among tough competition in the busiest event of the day, taking second out of 87 in the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.22 seconds. She also was third in the 200 at 25.49 seconds.

Both are her best times on the season.
