Alpine Lady Bucks Area Champions

Body
Just as they did previously in Crane at the District meet, the Alpine Lady Bucks track and field team has trampled their competition at the Area meet with a total score of 145 points. That’s 76 points ahead of the second-place finisher Muleshoe and 77 points ahead of the third-place team of Denver City. This makes the Lady Bucks track and field team fourtime Area champions in 3A District 4.
