Team needed to fill Piketon Relays

[tap in bogey]

Due to a cancellation, Piketon is seeking one more team to fill the Piketon Relays on Saturday, March 26.

Both boys and girls are needed. Those teams currently in are Wheelersburg, Minford, Piketon, North Adams, Portsmouth, Northwest and Oak Hill.

Those interested should email Greg Shepherd....bogeysix@yahoo.com

Piketon is suggesting teams with rather good numbers in their program as a relay meet requires at least some degree of team depth as compared to a regular track meet.

Here is some info on the meet if anyone is interested...

Feel free to contact me with any questions. We are very pleased with the teams that committed to the meet and feel it will be a very competitive early season meet with most teams filling most events. I also trust you will offer any constructive criticism during and after the meet. We will use a digital clock near the finish line that may help you get splits in some races.
