Racing to victory

The Memorial Middle School seventh-grade girls’ track team placed first in the district meet held at Stratford High School. Runners Caroline Bullers, Camille Smith, Lizzie Gissel and Madison Morrow (pictured, from left) contributed to that win by placing in their events. Caroline finished in sixth place in the 800-meter relay. The 4x200 meter relay was won by Camille, Lizzie, Madison and Tijana Lekic. It was a great season for the entire team, which won three out of four meets during the track season. The girls made progress during the season and improved their times, jumps and throws. The Lady Eagles placed in the top three in each event at all of the track meets.
