Spring fever

Nearly two weeks into spring, nearly all of Owensville Middle School (OMS) and Owensville High School (OHS) student athletes have seen live action.

Weather permitting, OMS Track and Field is scheduled to begin their season Friday afternoon in the Blair Oaks Middle School Invitational held at the Falcon Athletic Complex in Wardsville.

Even if that meet gets canceled due to inclement weather, OMS Track should be able to get the first of their two home meets throughout the month of April in on Monday during the OMS open.

Field events Monday at Dutchmen Field will begin at 4 p.m., followed by running events on the track at 4:30 p.m.

Teams joining the host Dutchmen and Dutchgirls Monday will include Pacific, Union, Sullivan, Hermann and Salem.

After voting during next Tuesday’s municipal election, OHS track will have their turn at hosting an open meet at Dutchmen Field.

Field events will also begin at 4 p.m., with running events to follow at 4:30 p.m.

Joining OHS’ Dutchmen and Dutchgirls next Tuesday at Dutchmen Field will include Father Tolton Regional Catholic, South Callaway, New Haven, Sullivan and Licking.

Dutchmen Field will then play host to both the OMS and OHS Relays over Easter break.

OMS’ Relays are scheduled for Thursday, April 17 while the OHS Relays will take place April 18 on Good Friday.

Run fast, throw far and jump high.
