Shelbyville track was hit and miss on Thursday, as the boys’ meet was canceled due to rain and the girls basically just got their feet wet at the Taylorville Tri-meet, which ended with a third place Shelby finish.

Brown won the 100 meter dash in 13.5, Mason won the long jump, with a leap of 14 feet, 4 inches, and Anna Oldham won the pole vault, clearing 7 feet.
The Ram boys meet with St. Elmo and Cowden-Herrick was set to go when the rain rolled in canceling the meet.

The Lady Rams will then host the Shelby Girls Open on Good Friday at 9 a.m., hosting Altamont, Athens, Camp Point Central, Central A&M;, Clinton, Cowden-Herrick/Beecher City, Mt. Zion, Pana, Sangamon Valley, Stew-Stras/Windsor, Teutopolis and Warrensburg-Latham.
