Track dedication held

Posted

A sign on the east end of the football and track complex now bears the name of the Barnes-Evans track, which was dedicated Saturday. Florence Evans was present on behalf of her late husband, John, who was an assistant track coach with Gus Barnes, the head coach that led Flandreau to three state championships in the early 1970s. Evans later became a head coach himself.
