The girls track and field team at Oxford High School picked up their first MHSAA state title this past weekend in Pearl, MS. The Lady Chargers, lead by first year coach Jamie Perkins, claimed the title in dramatic fashion, edging Pearl High School in the final event. After years of doing well and consistently finishing in the top five of the team championships, the Lady Chargers finally broke through to win the school’s first team title.Oxford won Friday’s 5A title by totaling 89 points, the most ever in a state meet, and the Lady Chargers did it with a strong showing in field events as well as an inspirational finish in the 4×400 meter relay. Roughly a third of the team's roster returns to school next fall, making today the beginning of the road to the repeat.
