Welcome to Rainy (and Windy) Radford High School 🏫 {Live, All Day}

Mary and Don have taken in a rain 🌧 soaked reporter as we try to set up our attempt to provide coverage for our Boys 👦 and Girls Track teams.

I admittedly don’t have a ton of Track Knowledge but Mary is going to keep me pointed in the right direction. All-American Relays is the official name of today’s event and we will try and self educate throughout the Day.

Coaches meeting at Noon at the Start / Finish Line is the first official announcement of the event.

We are close to getting underway !

What would cause a person to drive 🚗 up to Radford High School on a cold, wet and windy day ?

Especially when chances are that the results would eventually find their way down to me. For one to fully appreciate the level of commitment it takes to participate in Track at the High School level one should see 👀 it through their eyes. Wake up and get to school, take some classes, pack up and ride a Bus 🚌 up Highway 🛣 100 and try your best to both stay dry and compete at your Best.

I am not sure that I will get the best photos today but I can promise you that at the end of the day I will have a greater understanding of their commitment and if I do it successfully then our readers will have the same appreciation !

It’s worth noting that the first group of events are taking place on four different parts of the Radford campus. The Shotput is a few hundred yards from the Discus event and the Girls Long Jump is on the opposite end of Stadium 🏟 from the Boys Long Jump. This is relavent in that it eliminates cross over support from parents and fellow teammates.
