The West Liberty-Salem girls track and field 4×100 Meter Relay team will be honored with a banner-raising ceremony at the high school boys basketball game on Tuesday, February 4th.
The team, consisting of Tori Douthwaite, Delaney Jones, Gwen McCullough, and Chloe Griffith, had an outstanding 2024 season, capturing the Ohio Heritage Conference, DIII Southwest District, Southwest Regional, and State titles.
They also set a new DIII State Record with a time of 48.67 seconds at the Regional championships.
Retired West Liberty-Salem head coach Ann Vogel expressed pride in the team’s achievements, saying, “I’m so proud of these young women and their accomplishments. We had a season of ups and downs, and this team’s commitment and resilience through tough times are a testament to what can happen if you put in the work and believe in yourself. I hope the state championship banners in our gym inspire young athletes at West Liberty-Salem to pursue their passions and know that if they put in the work, they can be state champions too.”
