It’s a truly amazing record of success: six state championships in five years, as well as three second-place finishes and one third. That’s the five-year record of the Lovell High School track and field program since the school returned to Class 2A for the 2009-10 school year after two years in 3A.

The Lovell girls have won four out of the last five state titles and were second in 2013. The boys won two in a row in 2012 and 2013 and were second in 2010 and 2014, third in 2011.
