Boys Track: Coldwater paces Branch County in Area Best Track Meet

[ASFN Admin]

QUINCY – The Branch County Area Best Track and Field meet has undergone some major changes over the past five years, going from an end of the year meet where only certain individuals qualify to the all compassing early season meet it is now.

That meet drew the four largest teams from the county to Quincy High School on Saturday to see who is indeed Branch County’s Best for a day full of track and field action.

The Coldwater Cardinal boys paced the country on the day, securing wins in 13 of the 17 events ran on Saturday.
