Lady Eagles win and boy’s settle for 2nd on a cold & blustery night
Wednesday evening was a frigid affair between the Knights and the Eagles at Centennial’s “Fortress Stadium” as the Milton track teams split with Centennial. The Lady Eagles (1st-59 pts) used scoring in the sprints, field events & wining both relays to outpace the Lady Knights (2nd-45 pts) whereas the boys were close to being double-scored on with Milton (44 pts) trailing Centennial (83 pts) in the end.

GIRLS
The Lady Eagles were once again led by senior Kia Carson. Her win in the 100 meters & the long jump and relay carries on the winning 4x100 & 4x400 paced the Milton scoring. Sophomore Anna Renko took second in two events (200 meters & 400 meters) and ran the anchor leg on the victorious 4x400 relay team. Senior Caroline Winnett contributed major points with her 2nd place in the 300 meter hurdles and her relay carries on both the 4x100 & 4x400. In the field Kelsey McGinnis won the shot and was 2nd in the discus to provide big meets points for the victorious Lady Eagles.
