The Vinton-Shellsburg Vikings finally had good weather for the Early Bird track meet, and finished second in Tuesday’s event.

Winners for VS included Tyler Bartz, 400M and long jump; Derek Dinderman, 800M and 3200M; and the 4 x 100 relay team.

Last year, the event was delayed, and then canceled, because of cold weather.
