ARMAGH — Coaching change and all, the United boys’ track and field team has picked up where it left off a season ago.
With the core of last year’s team returning, the Lions opened their 2024 invitational schedule in style Saturday, winning the team title at the Bill Wilt Memorial Invitational on their home track. It marked the first time the United boys won their own invitational, which has been held since 2014.
