The outdoor season begins today for the Washington Demon boys’ track team. Athletes from several schools will descend on Case Field this afternoon for the inaugural Steve Roth Relays. The meet, formerly known as the Washington Relays, was renamed last spring in honor of the Demons’ longtime boys’ track coach.

Roth says there will be three classes of athletes competing against each other and the times will be scored based on their class size. Class A features Cedar Rapids Prairie, Fort Madison, Iowa City High, Mount Pleasant, Washington, and Xavier. Class B includes Fairfield, Iowa City High JV, Mediapolis, West Burlington-Notre Dame, and Washington JV. Class C contains Columbus, Danville, Highland, Keota, WACO, and Wapello

The Steve Roth Relays will commence at 3:30 p.m. with running events and field events set to begin at 3:45 p.m.
