But Richard Alexander, a school board member, said Wednesday it was later determined that the cost of sports insurance was only $186 per player rather than $3,500 as originally thought. 1 the duties of timing and keeping track of placings and points John Frampton who started the track several vears aeo. stepped down last winter as track manager "The reason we are not running the track is that we were told there would be no funding ifrom Pleasant Grove City for the track." -Frampton explained Since then money has been found and the track will be run by someone else this year " According to Bill Hoaglund of the Pleasant Grove Parks and Recreation KAYLESE NELSEN Herald Correspondent PLEASANT GROVE Round About racers are preparing for the opening race day Saturday, with timetnals set at 1 p m followed by racing at 2 p m The track is under new management this year.
