MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — On the coldest day in the 22-year history of the Spring Fling, the Signal Mountain girls’ track and field team frosted its state competition.
With temperatures reaching no higher than 55 degrees by mid-afternoon and dipping into the 40s by the final few events at Middle Tennessee State University, the Lady Eagles defended their Class A/AA state championship in dominating fashion, scoring points in 13 events to finish with 96 points to second-place East Nashville’s 72.
A school-record 13 girls scored points for Signal Mountain, including McKenzie Ethridge and Camryn Bowman, who each won multiple events and made this year’s title much easier than last year’s six-point nail-biter.
“We knew how to strategize better this year, how to score more points,” said Signal Mountain coach Beverly Blackwell. “We talked a lot during practice recently about what everybody needed to do, and they all went out there today and, while we expected McKenzie and Camryn to do what they did, we had a lot of other girls do more than they were expected to.”
