CLEVELAND, Ohio — ⭕The parents of a Black River track and field athlete said in a lawsuit filed this week that officials at two schools failed to protect their daughter from being sexually assaulted at a track meet in Ashland.

The girl was a freshman when she was attacked in April 2022 at the Mapleton Night Invitational in a tent 🦂that operated as the team’s makeshift locker room, the lawsuit said.
