Young Jills track squad looks forward to better season to come
Bemidji Lumberjills track team faced a tough spring amid strong state powers Park Rapids Moorhead and Brainerd.

Nine letter winners from prior years did not return, limiting the team’s immediate impact though optimism remained for future seasons.
