Thunder and Lighting wipe out the Annual City/County Meet at Spotswood.

TA boys and Blazer 4x800 girls teams wipe out the records! results

 

The 31st Annual City-County Track meet was the shortest ever. A lightning squal moved through the area and caused a meet delay. Meet officials (at the advice of EOC in Harrisonburg) finally called the meet after almost an hour wait. Online Radar showed the storm moving through, but there was no access to that data at the field.

A nice sunny evening was given back to the all the hard working athletes and meet officials. There are no plans to make up the meet due to no room in the schedule.

Turner Ashby's 4x800 Relay team crushed the meet record with a time of 8:16.20. That team of Mark Cohee, Michael Snader, Will Shoemaker and Matt Miller will be state contenders in June.

10:09.40 was good enough also for a meet record by the Spotswood Blazers 4x800 Relay team of Michelle Myuers and Margene Moats, Margie Martin, and Jackie Workman's time shattered the previous record of 10:18.40

In Memory Bill Blose

It's appropriate that Bill's pictures above were both at rainy meets.

This city-county meet was similar to past years.
Bill Blose was the sports fans fan. He was tirelessly involved in high school sports as a parent, grandparent, cheerleader, sideline FB statistics, track meet timer and officials "suggestion giver" at basketball games.

Bill loved track and field.

He loved watching the athletes compete no matter what school they were from.

He was a fierce competitor himself and enjoyed the "thrill of the battle."

We dedicate this City-County Meet Friday May 7th to your memory with great love and appreciation for your help and support. We will miss you at the finish line, Bill.
