Five sets of Eagles, Lady Eagles siblings epitomize Tongue River track and field
DAYTON — Tongue River High School’s track and field practices feature intrateam competition, words of encouragement and selfless attitudes as the Eagles and Lady Eagles prepare for the 2A East regional meet in Torrington Friday and Saturday. For those reasons, 12 Eagles and eight Lady Eagles have prequalified for the state championship meet in two weeks.
Five sets of siblings influence Tongue River’s family-like culture that has driven the team’s success throughout the season. Each pair elevates the Eagles’ and Lady Eagles’ performances and adds an element of sibling rivalry, as well as cooperation.
“We have so many people supporting each other,” junior Jane Pendergast said. “Every day we break off saying, ‘family,’ and having so many sets of siblings means it really is a family.”
