The future looks bright for Meadows Valley track and field.Natalie Ruth placed fifth in the 400-meters as Mountaineer athletes competed at the 1A District III Championships on Friday and Saturday in New Plymouth.“Tons of personal records and I couldn’t be happier to see our team peak at the end,“ MV coach Jared McIlvain said.Ruth, a freshman, posted a personal best time of 1 minutes, 7.53 seconds during the 400 finals, but ended up missing a spot at state by just a tenth of a second.“Natalie was fighting through a pretty rough cold that had been nagging her all week,” McIlvain said.
