The Boys team will be heading to the Hurricane Invitational and the Eastern Relays this coming Saturday. Most of the athletes will compete at Hurricane, while 5 distance runners will travel to Louisville, Ky for their toughest competition of the season on the University of Louisville's track.

The Eastern Relays has nearly 40 teams with some of the best programs from Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, & Illinois competing in this meet. Midland's, Jacob Burcham, is undefeated in the 800, 1600, & 3200 meter runs this season, but goes into Saturday's meet ranked 6th in the 1600 and 9th in the 800 meters. This competition will definitely challenge Burcham and allow him to know exactly what shape he's in so far this season. If weather permits, he will attempt to break the varsity school record of 4:23.79 set back in 2002 by Richard Kitching. Predicted weather for this weekend is possible thunderstorms with 11-15 mph winds. The wind could gust up to 25-30 mph, which could make record setting a hard task to accomplish.

Midland's 4x800 of Ryan Smith, David Jobe, Brian Lawhon, & Matthew Edmunds are currently ranked number #1  in West Virginia with a time of 8:25, but face their strongest field at the Eastern Relays. Midland's 4x800 goes into the meet ranked number #8 and face teams with times ranging from 7:58 to 8:25. They will be tested on Saturday and plan to come away with a new PR for the season.
