2014 Washington County Invitational 
The word for the week has been 'Cancelled.' However the Washington County Meet was held and as the night went on the weather became less of a challenge to the athletes. Wisconsin track and field athletes are familiar with the challenge of the elements and the teams at the Washington County Meet performed well.
Germantown [D1, North Shore Conference], Kettle Moraine Lutheran [D2, Wisconsin Flyway Conference], Kewaskum [D2, Eastern Wisconsin Conference], Living Word Lutheran [D3, Midwest Classic Conference], Slinger [D1, Wisconsin Little Ten Conference], West Bend East [D1, Wisconsin Little Ten Conference, West Bend West [D1, Wisconsin Little Ten Conference] and host Hartford Union [D1, Wisconsin Little Ten Conference] competed in the Washington County Meet.
West Bend West won the meet with 118 points followed by host Hartford Union and Germantown.
