Record Setting Night @ The 3rd Annual "Dale Plank" Invitational
Meet Results / Pictures
Oxford, OH. - Tuesday evening the Eagles participated in the "Dale Plank" Invitational hosted by Talawanda High School @ their beautiful new athletic complex. Although a bit windy, cool and overcast the weather turned out to be really nice for a change and was greatly appreciated by athletes, coaches and fans alike.
What makes this meet unique and exciting is that unlike traditional invitational formats more than two participants and or one relay team per event, per school get to participate. So, last evening the eagles had three individuals and two relay teams in most every event and had a whole lot of fun.
The relay events can always add an extra bit of excitement to any meet and last night was no exception. The men's 4x200 relay (1:43.20 - New Meet Record) came down to the last few meters with the Eagles edging out Lakota West by one tenth of a second for the win. Not to be outdone the lady Eagles 4x400 (4:25.2) added some excitement with their second place finish by edging out Lakota West and Edgewood. Then the men's 4x400 (3:34.10) also turned in a come from behind second place finish to edge out Talawanda and Edgewood.
