On Saturday, April 27, 2019, the Haddam Killingworth High School boys and girls track teams traveled to Bethel High School to compete in the 39th O’Grady Relays. Battling cold temperatures, high winds and rain showers the track team competed against 29 other teams around the state including Danbury, Staples, Trumbull, Weston, Southington and Bloomfield among others. Competing as relay teams in all events on the track and in the field, the Cougars were led by some outstanding performances.
