Meanwhile, the Polytechnic girls’ team scored 31 points to take the top spot over runner-up Mayfield Junior (27 points) and third-place Chandler (17 points).
“Being able to practice in the parking garage when the crazy rain hit really allowed for us to get in some good training,” Chandler Athletic Director Bill Anderson said regarding the boys’ first-place finish.
Anderson was pleased with his student-athletes’ consistent efforts despite the setbacks that came with the recent storm.
Polytechnic head coach Jamie Bell similarly stated how happy she was to see the kids on the field competing again.
Meanwhile, Mayfield Junior coach Jason Windass said the sunny weather creating the perfect conditions for a track meet.
