Track and field Tri-Valley stages a stellar meet GRAHAMSVILLE, NY—On April 17, a clear and mild spring day, 34 schools competed in the Tri-Valley Invitational, a track and field meet that could only be orchestrated by an experienced athletic director. Joe Iatauro, Tri-Valley’s track coach and the Section Nine boys’ outdoor track chairman, never missed a beat. Athletes from both large and small schools from Section Nine and beyond competed against each other in a non-stop series of events that ran throughout the day. As one onlooker noted, “Look at all these people here. This is like Woodstock.” Twenty-six track officials handled the starts and finishes, measuring and recording while runners, jumpers and throwers went head to head in each event. Team scoring was broken down into larger and smaller divisions. | |||||

Showing great command of his pitches in the home opener on April 15 against the Goshen Gladiators, Taylor got ahead on the count on nearly every batter. |
