Bragging rights for the next year were on the line on May 4 at West Union High School as the Dragons track program hosted the annual Adams County Track Meet, featuring only the junior high and high school track teams from the host school plus North Adams, Manchester and Peebles. It is quite an undertaking to complete two track meets at the same time but the West Union track staff again proved that it could be done flawlessly.

When the final team scores were counted, the bragging rights went to North Adams in both junior high girls and boys, West Union in high school girls and Peebles in high school boys. First place winners (county champions) received medals and for the sake of brevity and space what follows is a list of the champions in each field/track event, beginning with junior high girls, then junior high boys, high school girls and high school boys.
