MOBILE — Baldwin County track and field athletes did well at the 6A Section 1 meet Friday and Saturday at McGill-Toolen Catholic High School.

Several will be representing their school as well as south Alabama this weekend as Gulf Shores will host the 2007 state meet May 4 and 5.

Montrose resident, McGill-Toolen captain and twice defending 6A state Javelin champion Angela McCord led the Lady Yellow Jackets to a team victory. Murphy came in second and Foley’s Lady Lions took third.

The boys side looked the same in team finishes with the Jackets, Panthers and Lions all placing in order.

Foley coach D.D. Andersen was pleased with her teams and individual results and very glad the state meet will be in familiar territory this year.

“We are going to work hard this week and hopefully make a good showing at the state meet this weekend,” she said. “We are just really excited to be competing for a home crowd.”
