Lowell improved its O-K White conference girls track record to 2-1 with a 78-49 win over Northview.

The Red Arrows won 11 of the 16 events, but led by only four (45-41) after 11 events.

“This was the worst weather of the year. We canceled pole vault because it wasn’t safe to jump,” said Lowell girls track coach, Robin Briggs.

Despite the miserable weather, Kalli Holzhueter pressed forward with her year’s best times in the 800-meter run (2:31)  and 1600-meter run (5:36).
