Nine Tiger runners remained eligible for state despite missing the district meet due to the junior-senior banquet. District officials postponed the event one day for track conditions.

The Tigers saw several place talents in relays and sprints, with Button, Harrington, Wagner, and Reece winning the mile relay in 3:53 and the 440 relay in 47.7 despite bad weather.
