Track, field, and rain at Floyd Invitational

Zoe Belshan and competitors start their watches as the starting gun fires for the 16000 meter run.

Between the rain, thunderstorms, and clearing the field once for lightning in the area, the Floyd Invitational Track Meet weathered a wet track and raindrops Friday afternoon and evening.

Floyd County High School students won races like the men’s 1600, with Miles Baldwin taking the win with a run under five minutes (45.58.64) or the Floyd ladies team taking the 4×400 relay.

More photos and full details of the race in an upcoming edition of The Floyd Press.
