ODESSA – The Odessa High School girls' team brought home the fourth-place trophy from the state track and field meet held May 26-28 at Eastern Washington University in Cheney.

Only a sophomore, Hayden Schuh, daughter of head coach Travis Schuh, had a stellar day in field events and races, placing first in the 100-meter hurdles, second in the 300-meter hurdles, second in the javelin, fifth as part of the 4x200 relay team and sixth as part of the 4x100 relay team.

All of the girls who placed at the meet are freshmen and sophomores except for Ashlyn Neilsen, a junior. The outlook for the team's future success is therefore very good.
