Howard, Oakland Mills outdoor track and field teams excel at Howard County Championships

Stress, excitement, anticipation.

All three words encapsulate the rollercoaster of emotions the Howard and Oakland Mills boys and girls outdoor track and field teams experienced. After 18 events and two hard days of competition, both programs emerged ahead of the pack.

The Lions girls captured the Howard County title with 147.5 points, edging out second place Oakland Mills (138) and third place River Hill (93).

However, the Lions and Scorpions boys made what meet and county officials believe to be history.
