Tonto Basin Track Event

A sea of smiles and a roaring crowd beckoned children in grades K through eight across finish lines Friday. The thundering sound of athletic shoes on gravel rose from the track at Tonto Basin School last Friday, April 25 as about 66 kids competed in annual track and field events. The mêlée of scurrying feet started at 8 a.m. and lasted until 11 a.m. Parents and grandparents attending Friday’s events said the community typically shows up in good numbers to the annual event. All of the judges and officials at Friday’s event were either school staff or community volunteers.

Shayla Rose, ponytail, and Maisey Taylor watch the athletic events unfold on the field, but Khloe Rose has her eyes in another direction.
