There was a change in format – going to a more traditional Regional set-up – and poor weather but that didn’t stop the athletes from showing up to run, jump and throw in the always competitive April Showers meet at Dexter.
Pioneer was among the 30 plus teams to join Dexter for the event. No team scores were kept. Here are some of the top results from the area performers who deserve full marks for competing in not-so-ideal conditions.
