Battle Ground High School was packed with track and field athletes and fans on Saturday, March 23 for the 2024 Tiger Invite.
Athletes came from Glencoe High School in Hillsboro, Oregon, up to North Thurston High School in Olympia/Lacey to compete in the mix of rain and sunshine. During a sun break, the stadium announcer remarked about the sun making a rare appearance at the invitational but later on in the day a downpour ensued.
