TRIAD, IL (Ian McMahon – The Benton Gazette. Please Click to read the full story. Here is an excerpt) n high school track usually the most experienced team wins, but the BCHS girls track team might have a rebuttal. The team consists of: nine freshmen, one sophomore, and one senior. “We’re pretty young, and I think they’re figuring out that high school track is a little different than junior high,” said head Coach Andy Sloan. At the Triad invitational the 11 person team scored 28 points. It might not sound like much, but nine of the 11 girls set personal records while the other two made top ten finishes. The top two performers were freshman, Mia Mclain, and Mady Darr. The freshman duo flirted with BCHS history Darr in the high jump leaping a solid 4’8 jump that got her 7th place at the meet, but tied 10th all time in school history. “Mady is jumping well right now, she’s finally getting back to the point we thought she’d be at,” said Sloan.
