Virtually everything went right for the Todd Beamer track and field teams in their Wednesday, March 19 meet against the Bethel Braves.
They swept the boys and the girls competitions, and even the weather turned out right.
Clouds, sunbreaks and occasional showers blew over Federal Way Memorial during the meet, but the most ominous storm bringing the most miserable rain did not strike until right at the end of the final event.
Athletes, coaches and fans all cleared out quickly to avoid the downpour, some to stadium offices, some to under the stadium ceilings and most to the team busses and cars.
