Storms interrupt inaugural Deep Run Track and Field Invitational
Runners from twenty-eight (28) schools challenged each other and the elements during the inaugural DRHS Track and Field Invitational on Saturday.
With thunderstorms in the forecast, it was not surprising when the start of the meet was delayed for nearly three hours. As the initial band of thunderstorms receeded to the northeast, athletes started warming up and competition began at about 11:15 AM with the JV girls 4x800M relay. Unfortunately, rain returned during the 100M dash and thunderstorms were advancing by the 1600m. A bright flash and boom brought the meet to a standstill after the boys JV 4x100m relay as spectators, coaches and athletes took cover. Rain and thunder continued sporadically for more than an hour before the unrelenting storm forced cancellation of the remaining events.
