Mother Nature says let the games begin!
Track and field has always been more about individual performances than where the teams finish in point totals.
With that said, the Wolverines had a strong showing for Coach Josiah Winchenbach at the May 10 meet with Boothbay Region, Winthrop and Mt. Abram. The weather finally cooperated: sunny with mild temperatures in what otherwise has been a cool, blustery month of May.
