The Portagers streaked ahead in the standings after junior Ryan Brown and freshman Taylor Fraly placed first and second in the 300 meter intermediate hurdles. With the support of some strong performances by the 800 and 3200 meter runners, and a second place finish by the 1600 meter relay team, the boys remained rooted (as we rooted them to remain) in the top spot. Particularly exciting was the fact that all four relay teams improved their best times, reflecting the potential of these fleet-feeted fellas.
