Just as the season was starting it abruptly came to an end.
Our world has lost much more through this than just a track season but the lost of this season is still something to be sad about.
First thoughts are towards the seniors, some of whom put in a lot of preseason work and never made it to even their first meet.
Making my list here is barely a band-aid but I’m hoping it will help a little.
This years teams will only include seniors in the All-Redwood Empire teams with the performances by underclassman shown below the seniors.
I’m not going to pick an ATHLETE OF THE YEAR.
Note: Last line under event shows place on 2020 Empire Best list.
