Northport Takes Over North Rockland: Red Raiders Recap

North Rockland, NY - With the meet being moved to a few days earlier, and a ressurgence of talent within the area, the Red Raider Relays brought down meet record after meet record.  Despite an ice delay to kick off the event, temps varied as much as the race leaders did, and each event brought together some of the best matchups outside the state championships.  We were on the scene for most of the action, and we have the results below!
