WAYNE – Members of the Wayne High track & field team hosted their first of two meets in the month of April on Tuesday.

From the Kern Track & Field Complex, five other teams joined Wayne High.

Head Blue Devil track and field coach Dale Hochstein said the wind played a big factor in the day especially with the cancelation of the boys pole vault. “Wayne saw several of our District teams today and competed well against them.”

The Blue Devil girls finished third with 100.5 points, just a half point ahead of fourth place, while the Wayne High boys placed fourth with 70 points.
