Taylor Padden was the third Porcupine to set a PR when he bested his previous throw in the discus.

The Nashua tracksters are scheduled to compete in Fairview on Thursday, followed by the Scottie Qualifier on Monday, April 18. You can also catch the Junior High meet on Saturday in Glasgow, where 22 teams are expected to compete.

Glasgow
