Spring break trip turns ugly Accident injures GHS students, parents headed to Salt Lake City. The interstate highway near Rock Springs, WY, slices through a dry, desolate area dotted with sagebrush and oil extraction equipment. In the darkness of night last Thursday, a Suburban piled with four Gothenburg High School students, parents and belongings barreled down Interstate 80 on a spring break trip to Salt Lake City, UT.  
Swede boys return solid nucleus Gothenburg hopes to build around experience. From throwing events and jumps to both sprints and distance races, the Swedes boys return a strong group of talented athletes to the track this spring. Six state qualifiers and 16 letter winners form a nice nucleus for coach Steve Reeves.  
Big numbers could benefit Brady track team 43 boys, girls to compete. Numbers are up higher than anyone can remember in the Brady track program. The large group of 43 boys and girls is an indication of how far things have come for the Eagles in the past 10 years. In fact five seasons ago, there weren’t enough boys to put even a single relay on the track.
