WASHINGTON– “At noon today I didn’t think we would have the weather we did,” said Aaron Six, athletic director for Washington High School. A rainy day and the potential for a wash-out turned into a very successful evening for Jane Astor’s Clear Creek Amana (CCA) girls’ track and field team on April 19. The ladies dominated the 38th annual Washington Girls’ Invitational with 172.50 team points.

Varsity results through third place:
Shot put: 3, Mara Jones, 36 feet, 8 inches.
Discus throw: 1, Morgan Cox, 111 feet, 11 inches. 2, Jones, 110 feet, 10 inches.

TIFFIN— If all goes as planned, residents of Tiffin will have a new water tower inservice during the fall of 2013.
The Tiffin City Council accepted the results of a study by HR Green, Inc. regarding the location and size of the new tank at their regular meeting Wednesday, April 11.
The study, which looked at three possible sites, also looked at water distribution in Tiffin and proposed improvements that would increase pressure in parts of the city that have chronically had low-pressure. The study and hydraulic models were phase one of the project as authorized last year.
