2009 produced some top notch teams.
Thought I would look back over 30 years to the 1978 team I was on to compare.
Check out the hurdles. Maybe the best group ever on one team?
This was only the third year of girls track in the area.
If you look at 1978 Prep Best list you will see that Petaluma and Piner also had great teams that year.
