The girls 4×800 relay team advanced to the state track meet at IU Bloomington last weekend; team members include Nora Rangel, Hannah Kurtz, Adrienne Henke, and Jill Kissinger.  The girls reported that they were seeded ninth going into the race, and that is where they ended up as well.  However, they set a new school record  for the 4×800, and were able to place high enough to make it onto the podium, qualifying them for all-state honors.  Three of the girls will be back next year, as Adrienne is the only senior on the relay team.  Adrienne plans to attend the University of Indianapolis next year to study nursing.
