A Holy Angels 7th grader recently ended an impressive season in track and field with two wins at the conference meet and a strong performance in the state middle school meet.

She won the 100-meter dash in 12.74 and also won the 200 meters with a time of 26.64. That would put her in the Sidney Daily News high school Track Honor Roll in both events.
