The Beacon
BY YANEEK SMITH, BEACON CONTRIBUTOR
PORT CLINTON For the 11th year in a row, the Oak Harbor girls track team has won a league championship. The Rockets won the Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division, finishing with 166 points.
Margaretta was second with 124 points, followed by Edison (116), Huron (113), Willard (71) and Port Clinton (47).
“I think all year long they felt a little pressure from Huron and Margaretta. In our eyes, it was going to be a really close meet. They were really making us wonder if we could win this year,” said Oak Harbor coach John McKitrick. “This senior class didn’t want to be the ones that lost the streak. Everybody did their job.”
