“This is about as bad a state tournament I’ve been at weather wise,” said PHS head coach Scott Smith. In his 25 years of coaching track, this was the first time he could remember events being rescheduled to another day instead of just delayed.
For the original schedule for the first day of the meet, four running events and 18 field events were scheduled, but in the end, only two races were held — the 3200 meter run and the 4x800 meter relay.
“It was a lot of fun,” Smith added. “I thought our kids competed really well, both in the bad weather and then when it got nicer, they did a nice job there, too.”
