Lady Roadrunners Have Successful Day In Gulf Shores Despite Weather Monday, April 19, 2021 The Track and Field Lady Roadrunners travelled to Gulf Shores, Ala. to participate in the University of Mobile Invitational on Saturday. It had been soggy all week in south Alabama and Saturday was no different.
RECAP Track and Field meets will usually go on even if it is raining, but not if there is persistent lightning in the area. The meet got underway with the 5,000 Meter Run, and then the lightning shut things down. Though the meet organizers did all they could to get the meet back underway, there was a long string of storms coming across Mobile Bay that were set to cause lightning in the area for most of the day. The meet had to be cancelled.
