Crash landing
Bantam Amy Bishop shows some frustration after failing to
clear the bar during the high jump event at the Brussels
Public School track and field meet last week. Fortunately,
the second try was much better. Weather made it interest-
ing this past week, but a number of area schools managed
to get the events run the rare times the sun shone.
