Cardinal Relays
UIW hosted the inaugural running of this Relays only track meet on a windy Friday, February 26th.  The Girls Varsity team finished 4th out of 15 schools – impressive considering we only participated in a few events.  They won the 4x100m relay (49.56) and the Distance Medley (1200m, 400m, 800m, 1600m – 13:43) and were 2nd in the 4x200m relay (1:47.3).  The Varsity Boys were 5th out of 17 schools.  The Boys 4x100m Weight Man team was 1st (49.5), Sprint Medley (100m, 100m, 200m, 400m – 1:43.7) 2nd, 4x100m 3rd (44.91), 4x200m 4th (1:33.9), and 4x800m 6th (9:20.1).  Their Distance Medley team finished 5th (11.54.1) after having the baton accidentally kicked out of our hands during an exchange.  The other events were the 4x400m, 4x1600m, and the wild and crazy 4x100m Shuttle Hurdle Relay.
