Mother Nature played a role in the cancellation of the first scheduled relays at Case Field earlier this spring. As of now the Demon Relays scheduled for tonight in Washington are still expected to be held.

Washington boys’ track coach Steve Roth cancelled the boys’ only Demon Relays last month due to cold front bringing below freezing temperatures to Washington County. Today’s Accuweather forecast calls for scatter thunderstorms throughout the day, with some being severe
.

The Demon boys’ and girls’ track teams were scheduled to compete Tuesday evening at the Raider Invite in Williamsburg, but it was postponed due to inclement weather. No make up date has been announced at this time.

KCII local schools Columbus and WACO are bringing both track teams to town for the meet, while Mid-Prairie is sending just their boys’ team to Case Field for the relays. Other schools slated to be a part of the Demon Relays, on the boys’ side includes Clear Creek Amana and Fairfield. The girls division is expecting track teams from Fairfield, Fort Madison and Wapello to compete.

The first events for today’s Demon Relays are scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. at Case Field in Washington.
