Oak Lawn, IL (April 24, 2012). THE GIRLS DID IT! The Varsity squad beat the old season best record at Tuesday's meet at Oak Lawn. The NEW season best record is 10-4, and it was accomplished with a lot of heart! Although the Rams fell a little short against TF North, the Rams beat Oak Lawn and Argo. What a great accomplishment for our track and field team. Final scores were TFN 87, Reavis 78, Argo 75, and Oak Lawn 36.
