Ex-runners ramble: the bigger picture
Big meets serve as measuring sticks for local teams and individuals
By RICHARD A. ROSS
SUFFERN, NYWith three developmental track meets per week (weather permitting), including a pair at Sullivan County Community College and another at West Point, most local teams havent had much time to participate in meets outside of the realm of the Orange County Interscholastic Athletic League (OCIAA).
But on Monday, January 17 Sullivan West and Eldred traveled to the Rockland County Community College field house to participate in the annual Suffern Invitational meet. The meet affords teams an opportunity to give their younger members a chance to run in freshman/sophomore competitions held in the morning. Their varsity athletes compete from midday on. (See next weeks TRR for details).
