The Oak Park girls team added to its legacy by winning yet another Division 1 title at last weekend's state track and field meet at East Kentwood High School.
Troy Athens put together one of its best performances ever to finish runner-up, but Walled Lake Central's boys team replicated its dominance in field events to take first at the Oakland County Meet for the second year in a row.
The Vikings didn’t like how things had gone for them over the preceding 10 days, and the used that bitter taste to play mad in their district opener on Monday, ensuring they didn’t feel that way again.

Nick (“The Quick”) Hopkins drove to the basket for a layup just before the overtime buzzer, giving the Vikings a 57-55 win over previously unbeaten Flint Kearsley in Thursday’s title game of the Lake Fenton Winter Classic, sending his team on break with a 7-1 record.
