RC, a quick message from Coach Zabel on the heels of last night's track meet:
Our HS Girls track team won their 1st NCKL meet by 62 points last night. This is an unusual back-to-back situation in that they were the MEL champions last year and NCKL champions this year. The boys were very impressive also in finishing 2nd in this very tough meet. The night was capped by our 4x400 Relays who both broke school records. The boys finished 3rd, but broke the school record by 5 seconds. The girl's team were competing against the #2 and #3 teams in State 4A so far this year and came from behind to defeat both with a 4:02 time that could be ranked #1 today in the state or at least very close to it.
