Fresh off their Class A title and hitting their stride coming into the final turn for the state championships next weekend, the Hawks' outdoor track team made sure that they brought their best stuff their own invitational, an event that has now become a hallmark of the late spring track season. Our guys took the Invitational title with a final tally of 110.5 points, the second-place team, North Kingstwon, 50.5 points behind.
This was, however, the first time that The Network was there with live coverage for a Hawks' track & field event. Admittedly, we had some coverage issues, as we're still trying to determine the best and most efficient way of covering an event of this magnitude. For a first time, though, we had some success. Incorporating live streaming of the field in general, a "Network booth", so to speak, which was manned by stalwarts Stone Freeman and Cam Brennan, and Instagram highlights, we were able to put together a pretty solid picture of the day's happenings. A sample of the day's field events can be seen here....
