Annual Track & Field Meet at Ladue Saturday is a Real Dandy
Host Rams are looking for some warmer weather and clear skies and a day of great competition.
For those who love track and field, it doesn't get any better than the Brusca/Strobach meet at Ladue Horton Watkins High School Saturday. This has grown into one of the premier meets of the spring season.
The weather can be downright iffy. A couple of years ago, organizer and Ladue head track coach Keith Harder had to send everyone home because of a total rainout.
"This has been the worst weather season I can remember," said Harder, keeping his pulse on the long-range forecast.
