Track roundup
MUNCIE - Jay County High School's girls track team will compete in the Muncie Southside sectional in less than two weeks. If their results thus far at the home of the Rebels are any indication, the Patriots should be excited about the possibilities.
Following Saturday's win at the Muncie Southside Invitational, Jay County returned there Tuesday to score 104 points and defeat Pendleton Heights (70), New Castle (38) and the Rebels (16).
Seniors Amanda Johnson and Erika Hunt paced the Patriots, who boast a 17-0 record heading into Friday night's Blackford Invitational.
