The Whitman High School boys track team is participating in the Suffolk County Relays hosted at Bayport-Blue Point High School over two days, May 13-14.
The pentahalon will be held starting at 4 p.m. Friday and the other events begin at 8 a.m. Saturday.
The relays were cut from the Bayport-Blue Point school budget this year, but fundraising by the local runners group and Lions Club helped raise enough money for the event, which began in 1946, to be held.

The Suffolk County Relays draws runners from about 20 to 25 high schools from all over Long Island and upstate New York. It awards more than 240 individual medals and team plaques, and trophies are given to the best overall small school and large school team.
