It was a cold and windy night in Seymour on Tuesday night as the boys and girls track team competed against Madison. Despite the imperfect conditions, both teams were able to come away with victories.
The boys team won 91-39.
“Very proud of the boys,” head coach Randy Fife said. “With these dual meets, there’s not a lot of athletes in each race, so it’s easy to lose focus, and I thought our kids maintained their focus.”
