The 2021-2022 girls track and field season came to a conclusion for 22 area athletes at the ISHAA girls track and field regional at Franklin Community High School on Tuesday evening.
“It’s been a long year,” Connersville Head Coach Jeff Cooley said. “We’ve had a lot of meets, and a lot of grind, but I am proud of the girls. It was a good night.”
