While doing a handoff in the girls varsity 4x200, senior Mikala Fletcher was second leg in the event receiving the baton from junior, Bryanna Anderson. “The 4x200 is a really fun event because it only happens on relay meets so it’s fun to do it when I get the chance,” Fletcher said. “This is my last high school track season and I’m pretty eager to finish strong.”
