On Saturday, Keyser High School hosted track athletes from a total of three schools in the 11th annual Jim Turbin Memorial Invitational. Teams participating included girls’ and boys’ squads from host Keyser, Petersburg, and Pendleton County.
Keyser finished in first place in both the boys’ and girls’ competition. For the boys, Keyser finished in first with a score of 143, Petersburg was second with a 54, and Pendleton third with an 8. For the girls, Keyser finished in first place with a score of 84, Petersburg was second with a 52, and Pendleton was third with a 20.
The event is held annually at the end of the regular season and serves to prepare track athletes and serve as a tune-up for regionals.
As much as the event serves to prepare track athletes for the post-season, it also serves to honor the life of a great man. “Coach Jim Turbin was a long-time English teacher and track teacher at KHS. Coach Turbin meant a lot to us as a teacher, coach and mentor. His wisdom still guides a lot of us to this day. In 2010, we named the track at Alumni Stadium after him, and in 2011, we decided to put on a track meet in his honor,” Keyser boys’ track coach Scott Furey explained.
