Members of the relay team were Braeden Barr, Ashley Gentry, Erica Boles, and Hannah Helms. They finished with a time of 10.29.42, more than five seconds better than their prelim time.
Barr participated in the high jump and placed 13th in the state with a jump of 4-10, while Helms ran in the 800-meter race and finished 11th with a time of 2:32.34.
The Lady Wildcats finished the season with a second place finish in the North State 2A Conference and look for future success while competing most of the year with underclassman.
