  • Harrison track team in Dunbar meet Saturday

    Weather continues to be a factor for the Harrison County Fillies and Thorobreds track teams as they prepare for the upcoming region meets.  
    The number of meets and practices that the athletes have been able to compete in have seriously hampered the ability to prepare for the type of competition in this region.  Added to this, on Saturday there were illness, injury and academic obligations which had a skeleton crew going to Dunbar.
    The Fillies did quite well despite the lack of depth they usually have and finished fifth.
