New Balance Boise Indoor

New Balance Boise Indoor – High School Sections

Boise’s High School Indoor Track officially kicked off with the New Balance Boise Indoor Race this past weekend at Jackson’s Indoor.  With over a 1000 athletes between High School and College, it was a very successful meet!  “The mix of High School and College events was fantastic to watch to see where our kids are now, and where they will be soon”, said Shain Mood of Meridian.  Over 450 High School athletes from teams all over the Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Montana, Utah and Idaho) were all represented.

Team Idaho, YMCA’s conglomerate of High School students throughout the Treasure Valley competed strong!  With over 205 entries in this weekend’s races (there wasn’t one event that a Team Idaho member didn’t finish strongly in!).
