No comments about Dover??? Wendy Hutchinson WON the 800m; the 4X400 relay team (girls) WON the event; Eryn Spangler finished 3rd in the 400m...all qualifying for States next week!!! AND the girls team placed 3rd in total points for the meet. Shame on you for not mentioning them!

Where is your reporting on the Dover girls' team results? I agree with Deb Sowers' comments. Shame on you for not mentioning Dover. AND Mike Spangler was an honored guest at the meet, presenting the medals to the AAA girls 1600m relay team (his daughter Eryn Spangler is a member of the relay team and won the gold in that event). His three district records still stand since 1984 in the 100m, 200m and 400m. Isn't that worth mentioning?
