Wolverine track coach, Darin Johnson, posed a good question when he asked, “How many times have you seen a track meet postponed?” That’s a good question because it’s certainly rare when track meets are moved to a different date because of the weather! This weekend was one of those rare occasions. The Wolverines were scheduled to compete at the regional track meet on Saturday but fearing a severe tornado out break the OSSAA moved all the regional meets to Monday.
