This weekend the Hall County (GA) Middle School Track Championships were held at Chestatee Middle School. Kelsey is a distance runner on the girls' track team - she runs the mile and 4x400 meter relay (as the "B" team; there is an "A" team as well). The results were fantastic - both for Kelsey and for the West Hall Girls' Track Team. Kelsey came in 3rd in the mile with a time of 6:24 while Kelsey's friend Laykin came in first with a time of 6:12; the 4x400 A team came in second with a time of 4:45, and the 4x400 B team came in 4th overall with a time of 4:54. The WHMS Girls' Track Team, however, could not be stopped - they put on a clinic on how to completely dominate a track meet. The WHMS Girls' team placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in every event at the meet; the result was a dominating score of 189 points. The next closest team was 130 points behind. We haven't confirmed it yet, but we believe that the WHMS Girls' Track Team set a county record for the most points scored by any track team, ever. This was the culmination of a dominating year for this team - they won every single meet this season, and then put on a clinic of how to completely own a track meet at the county championships.

I am extremely proud of Kelsey and her friends on the track team. They worked very hard this year, and it paid off quite hansomely. Here are some pictures from the end of the meet, after the team had been crowned champions.
