KELLER/RICH RIVER VALLEY RELAYS – MEET RECAP
It was one of those classic Ohio track nights—cold rain, wet spikes, and just enough chaos to make things interesting. The skies opened up and it started raining buckets… but for the Upper Sandusky Rams and Lady Rams, it wasn’t just water falling from the sky—it was points.
And unfortunately—pole vault was canceled due to the rain..
