The Fayette

Middle School Lady Cub track team wrapped up a successful

seaosn on Saturday, as they won the leaguer championship.

They had already won the county championship, by beating

the likes of Booth Middle School, Whitewater, Flat Rock

Middl and the rest of the middle schopols in the county,

but their dominance was tested as they faced 14 teams

from the Metro Middle School Athletic League.

The season

ran from the middle of February until last weekend. The

Lady Cubs practiced everyday under the tutelage of Coach

Denise Cohelic-Roth, a former member of the Fayette

County High School track team and a recent inductee in

the Fayette County Sports Hall of Fame. There were 22

girls on the team, a mixture of seventh and eighth

graders, all with the capabilities of scoring points for

their team.

"There

were one or two girls in each event that were strong

enough to score," said Coach Roth. "More than

half the time, we were scoring two or three times per

event." The Lady Cubs won the county championship

with a score of 111 points. The second place team was

Booth with 81 points. In the league championship, Fayette

Middle won over 14 teams with a score of 103 points. The

seco nd place team was Conyers Middle School with 62

points.

The Lady

Cubs went undefeated in league play and accumulated a

record of 39-4-1 during the season. They return several

strong members to the team next season and look to

continue winning.
