That's ridiculous... That's Summit Track...

It's hard to ask for a better end to the season: boys and girls both holding the 5A state championship trophies, an accomplishment only a few programs in history can boast. Saturday, May, 21 at the historic Hayward field, a season of hard work finally paid off as the two state championship title goal was reached.

The girl's performance total of 112.5 points broke the Oregon large-school record at the state meet by half a point. They bested second place finisher Sandy  by more than 50 points.

For the boys, it was a fight until the final moments. Going into the last event, they were tied with Marshfield for first place. A third place finish in the 1600m relay (one place ahead of Marshfield), gave the boys team the gold, edging out Marshfield by just one point.

Congratulations to athletes and coaches, for running, throwing and jumping with your heart, for training your mind and body, for setting and conquering goals. The journey was great, but not over yet...
