(6-2-18) Who says 13 isn’t lucky? The Minster girls track and field team picked up its 13th State Championship today in Columbus and their first since 2004. The Wildcats add the track trophy to their trophy case along with their D IV Cross Country Championship trophy they won in the fall.
Minster was just just two points short last year losing out to Anna 33-31 for a state title, this time they had more than enough scoring 57 points to outdistance 2nd place Covington who had 32.
