“I was extremely proud of the group of girls that competed at Benton,” said Lady Hornets Danny Westbrook. “We had some people that have not been able to compete much in meets that really stepped up and did well.
“The seven girls that competed at Conway really had some outstanding performances,” he added. “Melinda Murdock ran a great mile and is only three seconds off our school record. Rachel Owens and Talyn Billins both had great meets, and our 4×400-meter relay currently has the top time in the state.”
