Clarksville, Tenn. -- The West Collierville Middle School (WCMS) girls' Track and Field team is prepared for another historic run as they start the TMSAA State Championships today, May 17, at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee. The Lady Dragons, a powerhouse in middle school track and field, are aiming to capture their fourth consecutive state title—a feat that would solidify their dynasty status in the great state of Tennessee.
Their road to Clarksville has been nothing short of dominant. At the Sectional Qualifier on May 3, WCMS all but clinched the meet before the first starting gun sounded for the running events. With a commanding 56 points scored in field events alone, the team ultimately amassed 141 total points, easily outpacing the second-place squad, which finished with just 43.
That marked the fourth straight Sectional title for WCMS.

Onose Aigbomian – Long Jump, 400M, 4x200M
