The Lady Pirates had to wait until the final race to see if they would be crowned District 6-3A champions on April 13, at FPC. They edged Mainland by six points to capture their first title since 2010.
“This win is not about me; it's about the kids and my great coaching staff that I have surrounded myself with,” coach Danny Weed said. “This win does mean a lot to me, because it's my first district title as a head coach, and I'm so blessed to have many talented kids, supportive parents and administration.”
Breanne Fuller led the way for the girls, winning both the 100- and 200-meter dash. The boys finished third with a few first-place individual performances.
