    It was a good win for us last night, it helps secure our goal for the conference championship.  I’m really happy with the teams performance, we are recording many personal records, and the girls are really stepping up with some performing outside their comfort zones.

    The girls track team will next see action on Saturday at the Mesick Invitational.  Good Luck Girls!   ~Coach Brown
