The Coronado High School Track and Field team participated in their last City League meet on April 18.
The Islanders’ last 2024 season meet took place at Crawford High School and competition featured Christian High School and the host school’s teams.
Race finish results and orders will stand, but cannot be considered for record or ranking consideration because this meet used a manual timing method for the running events instead of fully automatic timing, said CHS track and field head coach Cameron Gary.
