Can Lancaster Lady Tiger track hold off Dunbar?

The Lancaster (Texas) high school girls track team has won seven straight state titles. Having been editor of the community newspaper there for most of that streak, I would never sell the team and coach Beverly Humphrey and her teams short.

That said …

Fort Worth Dunbar has better times this year in both the 4x100 and 4x200 relays. And, in Texas high school track, due to double point values, relay performances is where you win team titles.

On individual sprints, Dunbar runners rank higher than Lancaster on 100 and 200 times, too.

Update Lady Tiger track post by noting no 100 or 200 runners, two in the
400. Give them 12 points in the 400, 10 for Ashley Starks in the 300
hurdles, 8 in other events and 20 in the 4x400... that's 50.... how much can
they do in other two relays?

Anyway, good luck, Bev; I think you’re going to need some luck this year. I also see that one runner transferred to another school this year. Is that a first?
