Are more trophies headed back to Titletown? The Boyle County boys team is stacked, with Lex Cath and last year's champ Mercer Co. in pursuit. The defending champion Lady Rebels look to be in a close meet, with Paducah Tilghman, Highlands, John Hardin and Mercer Co. all in the hunt.

The Doss, Unified 4x100M Relay team is crowned as today's first state champions. Congratulations Dragons!

[Runcible Owl]

Elizabethtown wins the girls 4x800M Relay with a new 2A record time. Highlands finishes 2nd, also below the old record.

[Runcible Owl]

I'm looking forward to the boys 100M Dash in about 10 minutes. Who is the state's top 2A sprinter?

 

For you football fans, lining up in the fastest section - Milton Wright (JR), WR at CAL; Jayden Freeman (SO), RB from Paducah Tilghman; Connor Newhouse (JR), RB at North Oldham; Nick Veneman, (SR) WR from Highlands.

Add Mercer Co. receiver Aaron Johnson to the list above. Aaron just three-peted in the 110M hurdles.

I should've checked in with nWo. :lol2: This could be an interesting weekend for the track and tennis teams at UK this weekend.

This could be an erratic stop/start night. They were ready to resume just after 7:00. The meet is currently on a delay due to lightning. Up and running by 8:00?

From looking at the radar it looks like this won’t stop until 10 or 11. At what point do they postpone the AA meet? Do you think they will push back the AAA tomorrow or would they do the AA after the AAA tomorrow evening or possibly Sunday? Looks like we (AAA) are going to be dealing with the same mess tomorrow too..... I’d hate for any kid to not get to run their event like AAA 4x400 last year. I hope they have a contingency plan in place.

Can't wait to see how this one plays out. 6 or 7 guys in the 100 who can win it.

When the press tent flooded after about an hour, that's when I bolted. My poor feet look like raisins. What a mess.

[Runcible Owl]

Mess is right JS, but it looks like some were having fun. :thumb:
