School Records Set At Track And Field Meet

The Dade County High School track team was unable to compete last year due to COVID, so it was especially good for them to get back on the track last week.

Coaches Ashlie Smith and Philip Bell are excited about the potential of their track and field team this season.
Thursday afternoon the team traveled to Darlington High School in Rome for their first competition since the spring of 2019.

They had notable finishes in several events and all the results can be found at https://ga.milesplit.com/meets/405338-darlington-home-meet-1-2021/teams/9069.
