We are proud of this team. It has been almost 20 years since Spring Hill has won a Junior High Championship in Track.”  

Since the district meet was the last official meet of the junior high track team, the ninth graders are now eligible to move up to the senior high team just in time for the district high school meet on Monday. Those talented ninth graders moving up will bring an extra edge to the senior high team making this event an exciting meet to watch. The Spring Hill Senior Track Team travels to Gurdon High School on Monday, April 26. Field events start at 1:30, and the races will begin when field events are over.
