“This was truly a full team effort as we scored points in every event with 28 different athletes scoring points and many others with seasonal and personal bests,” wrote BHS Girls Coach Ed Roskiewicz. “We demonstrated that we have a powerful team with top performers in the state and great depth overall!”

Jordan Roskiewicz won two individual events for the Eagles. The junior won the 100-meter hurdles, tying her personal best time of 16.65. She also won the 300-meter hurdles with a top time of 51.71.
