JEFFERSONVILLE — April 12, 2013 — Two busloads of thinclads – dressed in red, white and blue – descended on the Sullivan West track Monday afternoon, ready to do battle.
The small army of track and field athletes competed in every event as Tri-Valley took home two victories in the OCIAA Division IV league meet.

On the boys side, Aiden Woolsey took two firsts as Tri-Valley won 82-59.
Woolsey cleared 11’6” in the pole vault and also took first in the 400 in 55.3.
