The Blackhawk track team won the state outdoor track meet Wednesday, May 4, for the second year in a row.
"Coach (Heather) Wade and I are very proud of our track teams," coach Jason Upton said.
"The boys are back to back 4A State Outdoor Champions, and they won the 4A State Indoor Championship in February. Our Lady Trackhawks also won the 4A Indoor title, and they finished third last night.
"We outscored Magnolia (second place) by a margin of 105-64. Last year's margin was 94-78 over Nashville (Magnolia took third with 64 last year)," he said.
"While we are saddened to lose a great group of seniors to graduation, we have several underclassmen who scored points in many events at state," Upton said.
The following athletes will travel to Russellville to the Meet of Champs Wednesday, May 11: Dallice White, discus; Patrick Elliott, 100- and 200-meter; Cade Mann, 400-meter; and Owen Reynolds, Troy Ferguson, Tian Grant and Grandon Grant, 4x800-meter.
