Gladiator Track & Field: Photos updated 4/6/10 — Eighteen members of the Italy High School Track Team traveled to Meridian on Saturday, March 27 to compete in one of the biggest 1A meets in the entire state, the Meridian Straight A Relays. This meet has been going on for almost thirty years and has an outstanding reputation.

The boys competed really well earning third out of 26 teams and the girls finished well also at 11th place.

On a very tough day to run because of the windy conditions the kids battled really hard and represented our community and school extremely well.

Virtually every event we entered we were able to come away from with points.

The kids did awesome and the entire Coaching staff is very proud of them.
