Championship season is in full swing for our RedWolves T&F team and they showed up ready to compete at the New Castle County Championship this weekend at Abessinio Stadium.
Friday night, Kayla Williams squeezed in a personal best throw in the shot put to break her own school record and finish in 4th place before heading off to the prom. Not far behind her were Jordan Blanck and Mallory Holloway, who led off a school record-breaking 4X8 relay with Karen Tanner and Alyssa Napier that finished in 2nd place, earning the girls All County honors.
