— The Decatur junior high track team ended its meet season April 22 with a big win in the 2A 4West District junior high meet at Eureka Springs.

Both the boys' and girls' teams finished the meet in first place. Desi Meek was the individual high-point leader for the sixth straight meet of the season. Tajae White was the individual high-point leader on the boys' side.
