Nearly another sweep!

In the second year of the league’s existence, the Vienna High School boys’ track team easily repeated as the Show-Me Central Conference Meet champion.

The Eagle boys coasted to the team crown with 266 points - 185 more than runner-up Chamois. Vienna won a whopping 13 events, with Kevin Russell and Hunter Schwartze having a hand in four each.
