The spring sports season continues to be a roll of the dice with the weather, with the schedule printed up at the start of a week not resembling what is actually played.
Golf hopes to finally get started this week after Brighton and Howell tried to play last Monday at Oakland University, only to have the event called because of snow about midway through the round.
Sports like lacrosse and soccer can be played in any conditions, but the weather was so miserable Thursday that even the Hartland at Northville soccer game was postponed.
The weather was nice enough Saturday for track and field athletes to compete on the first busy invitational weekend of the season. When putting together this week’s Livingston Daily Athlete of the Week ballot, I avoided the temptation to just fill the list with track and field performers.
Voting is open until 3 p.m. Wednesday. Vote early, vote often.
