On Thursday, Shelbyville, Triton Central, and Morristown took their boys track team to Greenfield-Central for the start of the postseason. Many local athletes’ seasons came to an end, but several Shelby County kids found a way to keep their season alive.
For team scores, the Tigers led the way with 31 points, good enough for sixth place as a team. Shelbyville ended the day with 29 points, giving them eighth outright. Morristown ended the day with nine points, coming in ninth as a team.
