With most teams only having participated in "Polar Bear" meets thus far, the Durham Striders HS Opener looks to be a good one. A few schools have traveled to Virginia for indoor meets, but for most this is it, the FIRST of the year.
Later this week, I'll take a closer look at some of the events, but for now. Here is the performance list, also found on DurhamStriders.com.
