Lakeville North, South Girls Track And Field Competes At State True Team Meet

Both the Lakeville North and South girls track and field teams competed in the 25th-annual state Class AAA True Team championship meet on a soggy Friday night at Stillwater High School.

The "True Team" concept assigns a point value to every competitor in each event, thereby rewarding a deeper team rather than a squad with a handful of elite athletes.

North, the Section 1 champion, took fourth overall with 747 points, while Wild-Card entrant South finished fifth with 663 points.

Each squad claimed one individual event victor, as the Panthers' Angelica Anyaogu won the triple jump with a hop of 35 feet, 11.5 inches and the Cougars' Morgan Pieri took the high jump crown with a leap of 5-4.
