The Freedom High School girls track and field 4x100 relay team of Amanda Salami, Toni Fletcher, Asia Brown and Cortney O'Connell turned in a 48.66 to place 7th overall.

Recently graduated Fletcher is headed to Coastal Carolina in the fall and Brown is attending VCU. O'Connell, a junior, is committed to play soccer at the University of Miami and Salami is a sophomore.
