SHADYSIDE RELAYS

In the early 1980s, the relays reached a high number of 42 boys teams. With the addition of more all-weather tracks throughout the region and travel becoming a liability, the number of boys' teams dropped. With this trend in mind, the Relays committee decided to add girls' teams to the format in 1991. There was a meet designed and started for girls' teams in 1986. This format, separate from the boys, continued until the 1991 conjoint meet. Surprisingly, the 1988 girl's relays had to be postponed from its original April 4 date because of an 8" snowstorm. The meet was subsequently held the following Thursday. Now the Shadyside Relays hosts both boys and girls team and have hosted as many as 26 boys teams and 26 girls teams.
