BUCYRUS —  Bucyrus Elks Lodge 156 has been the driving force behind one of the largest track invitational meets in the region.

The annual Elk 156 Invitational is Saturday, April 1 at the Bucyrus City Schools Athletic Complex Saturday and is shaping up to be a tremendous event. Preliminaries and field events begin at 9:30 a.m., and admission for adults is $7 and $5 for students.

This year’s field includes 16 teams from the region. Those competing include: Bucyrus, Colonel Crawford, Crestview, Galion, Gilead Christian, Lexington, Marion Harding, Mohawk, Ontario, Pleasant, Plymouth, River Valley, South Central, Upper Sandusky, Western Reserve and Wynford.

“This is one of the marquee early season track meets in the region,” said Athletics/Activities Director Rick Rawson. “This meet only happens because of the outstanding support from the Bucyrus Elks 156 for our student-athletes and athletics programs.”
