REGION CHAMPS!!!

The Mitchell County Lady Eagles track team traveled up the road to Albany to compete against the best track & field talent from around Southwest GA in Region 1A.  Having seen the talent that they were up against all season, the Lady Eagles knew they had to bring their best, and that's what they did.  The 4x100 meter relay team beat out rivals Miller County and Terrell County to win the region title.  Lone senior, Ja'Shara Burns captured an individual region title winning the triple jump.
CONGRATULATIONS LADIES!!!
