They were defeated by Parkersburg Saturday, April 28, but they regained lost ground by defeating the fast St: Marys team May 5. They brought new honors to old P, H. S. by winning the sectional meet at Clarks- burg May 12, thus lessening the space in the trophy case by winning the cup for the relay and a plaque and loving cup for winning the meet.
