BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - The St. Joseph girls track team won the TAPPS Class 2A Team Championship over the weekend. The title came down to the final event and the Lady Eagles 4x400 relay team of Leah Hurley, Alex Garcia, Riley Millhollon, and Clare Najvar had to finish 3rd or better to clinch.

Hurley passed two teams over the final 100 meters to help the Lady Eagles finish 2nd in the race and clinch the team state title.

Clare was crowned a KBTX classroom champion last month and accounted for 34 total points after winning the 100 meters and Long Jump competitions earlier in the day. Clare was named the top points earner on the girls side in Class 2A.

The team was made up of 10 girls and are responsible for producing the first team state championship in the history of St. Joseph Catholic School.
