Howard-Monier back on track at Princeton

PRINCETON - After two years of cancellations due to COVID-19, the boys Howard-Monier Invitational Track & Field Meet is back on track at Princeton High School tonight.

PHS will host Three Rivers rivals Kewanee, Hall and Bureau Valley along with Annawan Wethersfield for the first Howard-Monier since 2019.

“Always nice to run meets, especially this year with a couple of cancellations already,” PHS coach Dan Foes said.

Field events will start at 4:30 p.m. with running events at 5 p.m.

Last week’s girls Howard-Monier Invite was canceled and will likely not be rescheduled due to scheduling conflicts with all the schools involved, PHS Athletic Director Jeff Ohlson said.
