Flash Flood Delays Start


At 8 am Saturday, when the first HS race was scheduled to start, the entire area around the starting line (above) and finish lines was under water as all night rains caused a nearby creek to overflow its banks.  The flooding threw the runners, coaches, meet management and fans into a turmoil, as the pictures below show.
