Rocky Mount High’s girls’ squad took home two titles.
The Gryphons defended their seed in the 4×100 and 4×200 relays to take the crown.
Despite being the fastest team, the Gryphons knew they had to improve certain aspects of their relay. Coach Keith Barnes said he saw teams were running faster and implemented some slight tweaks to the marks and handoffs during the relay.
“We fine tuned a couple of things on both relays, hoping to compete and it worked,” Barnes said. “The girls ran hard, they talked during the race and it was cool to see the end result.”
The two relay wins were the only points Rocky Mount High put on the board, but those 20 points were good enough to finish in a tie for 10th.
