IT WAS A LANDMARK WEEKEND for George Mason High School’s track team, with the girls 4x400m relay team taking first place in the race at the Class 2 state meet held at East Rockingham High School.

Mason will be sending a total of five relay teams and eight individual competitors to the 2A State meet to be held on Friday and Saturday, also at East Rock HS.

Mason defeated Wilson Memorial High School 9-0 in the Region 2B semifinal last night and will host the Region championship tomorrow at 7 p.m.

It took about 25 minutes to shake off the holiday malaise, but once the Mustangs did, it didn’t take them long to reacclimate to regional postseason intensity.
