Actually, the Paint Branch girls are allowed to do every event just like every other girls team. Now Olivia can only do so many events, this is true.

anyone who didn't put springbrook in their top 10 is an idiot, top 5 last 3 years, elite hurdlers and sprinters, they can score in the 110 H, 100, 200, 400, 300 H, 4x1,4x2,4x4,4x8,LJ,TJ, and prob the 800, maybe discus, and with our great B-ball team we got HJers as well. calling top 5. Get at ME!!!

if Malcolm Wyche keeps it up, i see him taking first in one or maybe even both hurdle events, judging on the way he ran at cougar relays.
