OUTDOOR TRACK #3

After the conclusion of all high school sports, it has been recognized that GIRLS OUTDOOR TRACK & FIELD has supplanted Boys Swimming as the number three all-time sport in the high school with a .6916 winning percentage.

The only thing that stands between #3 and #2 is Golf ( darn the Mr. Courtney) with a .7036 percentage.

WHO'S NUMBER ONE? You might ask. Of course it is GIRLS INDOOR TRACK & FIELD with an incredible .9167 winning percentage.

So when newcomers ask  "who's the best team in the school?" You ALL already KNOW that answer!

WINNING!
