Mary Henderson, a senior at Boulder City High School, finished as the track team’s top finisher, placing third in the 1600-meter run during the 3A state meet held Friday and Saturday, May 20 and 21, at Reed High School in Sparks.

An up-and-coming star for the girls’ program, freshman Makayla Nelson finished sixth in the 800-meter run and eighth in the 1600-meter run.

In relay races for the girls, Henderson, Nelson and juniors Callie Torgesen and Acacia Williams placed sixth in the 4x800 team, finishing as the girls’ top-placing relay team.
