All the meets were good because we competed in any kind of weather, lVlcKinney stated. The best meet of the season seemed to be at Nig Brown where the competitive effort overcame severe weather conditions to bring home the team title, McKinney said. In comparing this years' team to last year the competitive effort remained and McKinney hopes to have a stronger senior team next year with the goal set at competing and capturing the state championship title once again. 5 kk -- H- Q ,.
