Congrats to MHS Girls Track Team that makes history
by Frank Schroth
The snow is not all that is sparkling of late. The Milton High School Girls Track Team put in a fantastic performance at the recent state championship and made some MHS history. Tom Shaw, the track coach, believes that “for the first time in Milton High School History the girls team has left the state championship with a trophy. Out of over 40 teams we finished 2nd overall losing only to the defending champs Pembroke. Pembroke scored 59 points to our 46.”
