Lions Sprint to Area Championship
by Allen Dews
April 14, 2008
The Granger Lions
earned an Area Championship and qualified 8 events to the Regional
Track Meet to be held on April 25th - 26th in Huntsville. "We took
11 events into the Area Meet and qualified 8 of them to the next
level. I am very proud of these guys and how they compete but even
more I am proud of the kind of men they are developing into. It is
exciting every time we go onto the track!"
Behind a strong
showing in all of the relays, it was a 7 point difference that
determined the championship. "It came down to the last race with 3
teams in the hunt, that's how it's supposed to be and why people
stay 'til the end."
