Shuttle hurdle relay team continues to shine for Hawks
by Ken Boesenberg

The West Delaware boys track team ran in a pair of invitational meets last week.

On Tuesday evening they were at the Marion Invitational where they placed 11th in a field of 16 teams.

Host Marion was the meet champion with 95 points, followed by Monticello with 90 points.

One of the biggest bright spots for the Hawks thus far this season has been the shuttle hurdle relay team of Jacob Wall, Tom Gaffney, Adam Rave and Chris Harbaugh.

That team has continued to improve as the year has went along in what is a new event to high school boys track.

They have run the race in just over 60-seconds the last three times out and are currently one of the top rated teams in Class 3A.

They ran a season best 60.67 at Marion, just .06 behind the host Indians time of 60.61.
