Navarre’s track teams competed at the District 2-7A meet April 13 at Emerald Coast Middle School in Santa Rosa Beach and several Raiders are moving on to regional competition.
Navarre was riding an emotional high after defeating Niceville on consecutive nights two weeks ago as the victories secured the regular-season championship.

The regular season came to a close this week for Navarre’s softball team and while the season has not been a smooth one all the way through, Navarre head coach Kelly Hayes can’t fault her team for the effort it has put forth.
Michael Sandle had the option of playing college football but the Navarre senior decided baseball was the sport he wanted to play in college and signed a national letter of intent with South Alabama Wednesday afternoon in a packed cafeteria.
Amir Garrett stole a line from Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch when he answered a question about moving up to Double A baseball, where he will begin the year as a starting pitcher for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.
