Weather postpones Thursday's events, cancels Friday's A.R.M.

Invitational track meet in Whitefish is canceled. The A. R.

M. has been a draw for many area teams; a dozen competed last year, when the meet was on April 26. It switched spots on the calendar with the Bigfork Invitational this season because of planned improvements to the Whitefish athletic facilities.

Construction crews are expected to begin work Monday on a new $6. 1 million athletic complex on the Whitefish High School campus. In addition to a new track, the project includes a football field with a 1,500-seat grandstand.

Whitefish boys track coach Willie Roche noted the oval had problems with standing water Thursday, with more moisture expected. A muddy infield and slick take off boards added to the issues. Back to Thursday, where a light schedule of baseball and softball games were postponed.
