The Archbold boys and girls track teams placed second at the Northwest Ohio Athletic League track meet, Tuesday, May 13 and Friday, May 16.

After Tuesday's six events, the AHS girls were fifth with 22.5 points, and Wauseon, the eventual league champion, was second with 49.5. The 27- point gap was enough to help Wauseon win the league title, as they finished with 149.5 points. The Streaks finished 21 points behind, with 128.5.

Delta captured the boys title with 151 points. The Streaks were second with 119.
