The Milford boys track and field team took fourth place and the girls fifth at the Eastern Cincinnati Conference Championships amid a night with a new school record and personal career bests and team accomplishments.
The boys finished just 4 points shy of third place, behind Withrow, Kings and Turpin. The fourth place finish was the best for a Milford boys track and field team since the inception of the Eastern Cincinnati Conference in 2012-2013.
The Lady Eagles ended the night in fifth place, and Andrea Armstrong’s time of 58.00 in the 400 meter dash not only earned her the ECC individual championship but set a new school record as well. The previous record of 58.20 was set in 2006 by Lyndsey Wuest.
