YOUNG WOMEN AND YOUNG MEN
 DISTRICTS CHAMPS!
dynasty \ noun \ daɪnəsti (Merriam-Webster.com)
1.  a succession of rulers of the same line of descent
2. a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time
3. the Hilliard Davidson track and field program

Every member of both of these teams fought for every single point earned, and the results show it was, again, a true team effort.  It would be easy for an athlete with little chance of advancing to the regional meet to give up.  But not one Davidson athlete did.  For example, a sixth place finish in the 3200 earns three points.  Not an advancement to the regional, but three points for the team.  Two grueling miles, not for the individual, but for the team.  And those three points makes the difference for a team championship for everyone and the school.  There is example after example of this sort of grit on these teams.

The pole vault official remarked after the end of the young womens' competition..."what a great group of kids."  This is the absolute truth.
