It was a record setting season for Allendale’s Track Team, culminating in another City Championship.  Allendale handily won the Tier 2 city title, with McKernan finishing second, Kenilworth third, and Crestwood fourth. 

Allendale sent 37 athletes to the city championships, the largest contingent to ever represent our school.  Ten medals were won by our students, also an Allendale record.
