The Becker Bulldog girls track team competed in the True Team Section Championship meet last Tuesday, May 10.  The meet was held at Rocori high school.  

True Team is a concept that celebrates the entire team.  Each person scores based on their finish position and that way the winning team truly has a ‘team’ effort. The team winner goes on to compete at the State True Team meet.
