MILFORD:<\/strong> It was a successful regional track and field meet for Riverside Education Centre (REC) athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team had 10 athletes advanced to provincials\u2014eight boys and two girls, won the banner as junior high boys regional champions; a student athlete broke a school record and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather was awful for day one of the meet which left things wet and very messy, with action not wrapping up until 8 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REC will have former PE teacher Mel Miller travelling with them to the provincial championships in Bridgewater on May 30-31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
