The Oxford Preparatory Girls track team won the 2018 NCAC Conference Championship in their first year of competition. Competing with only six girls, the Griffins won the meet against track powerhouses Franklin Academy and Voyager Academy.
Coach Patricia Lyons stated, “I explained before the meet what had to take place for us to win. They all assured me that whatever event they needed to do they would try it. Every girl placed in the top three in all the field events which propelled us to win the championship.”
The Griffins now have their sights set on the NCHSSA Mideast Regional at Pender High School in Burgaw, N.C. on Saturday, May 12, 2018.
