Love and Baxter!” Herriman freshman Kaysha Love and Timpview senior Lauren Baxter were side by side, in lanes four and five, and neck and neck as they bolted toward the finish. It was only the slightest lean at the end that gave Love the title with a time of 24.13 seconds. Baxter clocked in at 24.17 seconds. The win was the freshman’s se...

Highland’s No. 1 singles player, Jihoon Noh, was visibly in pain.
