Byron girls track Conference Champs!!!
Byron’s girls track team reached one of their teams goals this season and that was winning the conference championship. The girls have held the title of conference champions for the past decade.
The girls were challenged by a very good Stewartville team, but in the end the girls finished with 197.5 points to Stewartville’s 169.25 points. The girls were led by Seniors Katie Lambrecht and Emma Johnson. Katie finished as the conference champion in four events (100, 200, 400 and long jump) and Emma finished as the conference champion in two events (100 hurdles and pole vault).
