RUSHFORD &045; Aside from two delays for hail storms, it was some of the best weather the Glenville-Emmons track and field teams competed in all spring.

It was definitely their best performance of the year.

The Wolverines turned in many season bests while finishing fourth in the girls’ division and seventh in the boys’ in the 2002 Southeast Conference meet at Rushford.

&uot;We compete well in the Southeast Conference because the schools are more comparable to our school in size,&uot; said Wolverines coach Mike Kropp. &uot;It is nice as a coach to see the continued improvement in our athletes, and it is good positive reinforcement for the athletes to see that their hard work is paying off.&uot;

Rushford-Peterson/Houston topped the girls’ field with 149 points. Glenville-Emmons had 67.
