The Lady Wolves defended their home track as they finished the 32nd Gordie Richardson Annual Oakland County 7th & 8th Grade Track Meet last Thursday.
The eighth graders from Clarkston Junior High School scored 81 points to take first place.

“This is the first time in the 32 year history of the county meet that the Clarkston girls team has won,” said Michael Greve, coach. “This particular group of athletes is especially hard working and selfless, and many of these girls sacrificed personal achievement for the accomplishments of the team. I couldn’t be prouder of a group of student athletes.”
