Manchester High School was bustling with activity on April 29 and one of the main draws was the annual Adams County Track Meet, featuring just the four middle school and high schools from the county. Bragging rights for the next year were on the line and the winners were filled with the usual names, Johnson, Hesler, Seas, Bosko, Vogler, and many more individual titles were handed out.

As far as the team standings, the middle school girls county title went to Manchester, with Peebles taking the top spot in the middle school boys. There were co-champions in the high school girls contest, North Adams and West Union ending up dead even with North Adams also capturing the high school boys crown.
