The Switzerland County Lady Pacer track team has been putting together quite a dominant performance all through the season, and last Thursday was no different, as the Lady Pacers earned the championship of the ORVC meet.
Switzerland County finished with a team score of 115 points, easily outdistancing second place Jac-Cen-Del (93); third place Southwestern (82); and fourth place South Ripley (60). Milan was fifth (52); followed by Rising Sun (39) and Madison Shawe (17).
