Rock Island Invitational 4/22/16

The Moline Boys Track and Field team had, by far, their best meet of the year on Friday night!  Personal Bests and Season Best performances were produced by many of our athletes.  The team placed 8th overall with 110 points.  Perhaps the highlight of the evening was by the foursome in the "Weightman Relay".  The group of Vermeire, Dillworth, Ellis and King placed first and were rewarded with a cake.
