Track and field: We have some technical delays at Div. II prelims

There’s good and bad news from the guys down on the field at the Southern Section-Toyota Division II preliminaries:

First, we’re more than 30 minutes behind schedule thanks to problems with the timing computer. The girls participating in the 400-meter relay were called away from the starting blocks after waiting in place for about 10 minutes and are sitting in the infield (see photo). There’s murmurs the redcoats might resort to stopwatches!

Fortunately, the same radio communication from the field informed the press box that complimentary sandwiches were on the way up. At least the event organizers are doing everything they can to make the media happy. And they should since it looks as if we’re going to be here for a while.
