Valparaiso High School Boys Track & Field Take the Win Over Lake Central in Non-Scored Meet

Valparaiso Boys Track & Field take the unofficial win in the non-scored meet against Lake Central on Wednesday April 6. It was an away meet for Valpo and the first outdoor meet of the season. It was sunny but cold. The sun may have contributed to the timing gun problems Lake Central was having which continually delayed the races. I asked one of the coaches from Lake Central what could be causing the problem and he thought it was because the sun may have been interfering with the gun. One race alone, the 100 dash, had "8" false starts. On the last try the boys just kept running. Valpo prevailed and took the win. Results are up here.

Next meet for Valpo is April 12 at 4:30. It is a 3-way, Valpo vs. Crown Point/Merrillville. Another away meet hosted by Merrillville.
