I have to give credit to all my girls, it was a real team effort.  We had athletes coming out of the wood work, filling events for us and scoring where we don’t normally score. 

Our competition pulled out all the stops and we weathered the storm.

We are 3 for 3 in the Conference Jamborees, we just need to follow through for the conference meet next Tuesday.  We need to stay focused and remain healthy.

The girls track team will next see action on Thursday at Scottville where they will take part in the WMOM meet.  Good Luck Girls!
