The answer to the caption above is BOTH!
Excited would be an understatement. After decades of only a grass track students in Cameron now will benefit from the positive support for education that the citizens of Cameron demonstrated when they passed a referendum to upgrade their schools and athletic facilities. The referendum passed 600 to 349. It should be noted that in Cashton a recent referendum passed by only 2 votes.
This is also great news for the Lakeland Conference. For the first time in the history of the Cameron School District and Cameron community, the students will have a new multi-million dollar football and track and field facility to compete on. The facility is so "state of the art," that it will even rival most college level outdoor facilities in the northern part of the state. Also, for the first time in two decades, Cameron will be offering a full Middle School track and field season with five meets scheduled. There are fifty Middle School students signed-up.
In addition with fifty track and field athletes at the high school level, the future looks bright for the Comets track and field in Cameron. Head Coach David Martin after coaching 12 seasons with only a grass track program and never once having a home meet is one excited coach. Also Cameron will now have two home high school meets scheduled for April.
Schools in the Lakeland Conference are: Birchwood High School, Bruce High School, Cameron High School,Clayton High School, Clear Lake High School,Cornell High School, Flambeau High School,Frederic High School,Grantsburg High School, Lake Holcombe High School, Luck High School, New Auburn High School, Northwood High School, Prairie Farm High School, Saint Croix Falls High School, Shell Lake High School,Siren High School, Turtle Lake High School,Unity High School, Webster High School, and Winter High School.
