Buckeye Track Meet to Be Held at Sandusky Under Lights
Buckeye Conference rules prompt move of the Lorain County track meet from Mangfield to Sandusky to allow night competition. Elyria High and eight principals favor Sandusky for improved attendance and financial viability as lights enable a 5:30 start and in-school time. Debates note Mangfield may host after lights are installed next spring, while a county decathlon idea gains traction among coaches and schools statewide.
