Indians Win Oakley Invitational; Lady Indians Eighth
The St. Francis Indians won the team championship at the Oakley Invitational Track and Field Meet held on Thursday, April 20. The meet was originally scheduled for Friday, April 21, but was moved to a day earlier due to predicted inclement weather. The move proved to be a good one, as Thursday was a good day for competition, and Friday proved to be cold and rainy.
St. Francis had several individual event winners at the meet. St. Francis athletes winning events included: for the boys: Jordan Raby, 100 and 400; Taylor Rogers, 200; Brady Dinkel, 800; Tiernan Poling, pole vault; 4 X 100 meter relay, and 4 X 400 meter relay; and for the girls: the 4 X 100 meter relay team.
