The Madison Memorial team made the short jaunt over to Verona High School for the annual Verona Invitational. Excitement was in the air with a 27 team field and some great competition from the area and from throughout the state (even an IL team). Unfortunately, that was not the only thing in the air as the middle school race concluded and teams were doing their warmups...lightning made an appearance at the Verona Invitational. Most cross country meets will continue on regardless of weather BUT lightning is the one limiting factor that can put a delay or even cancelation on the table for our meets. After many delays and multiple false rumors of return to competition, the final decision came in around 11am to cancel the 2022 Verona Invitational. It doesn't happen often but it is a part of high school athletics. As a team, we pivot and shift our focus to today's run and moving on to next weekends meet. Some things are out of our control but how we respond to these events and the next steps we take... WE CAN CONTROL. Together, we move forward and carry on with our Madison Memorial tradition. Every run, every runner, every day!
