History Made at Jaguar Invite!

With rave reviews and great success, the Saint Joseph Academy track and field team hosted their first ever invitational at Fairview High School's stadium.  The host Jaguars won their own invitational with a score of 212.5 points, almost 100 points ahead of runner-up Brecksville.  The day never got as warm as the forecast predicted, but the Jags thawed their paws on the fast track with some quick performances.
