RED SPRINGS — The Pembroke Middle School track team won the team competition Tuesday as the Public Schools of Robeson County held its first middle school girls track conference championship meet at the Red Springs Athletic Complex.

The first championship meet came one year after the first season of girls middle school track in PSRC last year.

“These girls, I’ve had these girls, about half the team, since last year, the first official season,” Pembroke coach Ryan Bullard said. “We came in second behind Littlefield (last year), and most of them returned with a few new additions. Last year we sort of struggled in the sprints, and we had a couple girls who helped us some in the sprints this year, but we were strong in the middle distance and the long distance.”

Three individual runners from Pembroke won their races, while the Warriors also won the 4×400 relay.
