The Chandler girls track team had done its work.
It could only wait.
With just the mile run remaining at the Nike Track Nationals in Eugene, Ore. on Friday night, the Wolves were in first place with a national title on the line.
It was the one event they didn’t compete in, so they watched.
"The point difference was uber-small, so we really didn't know if we had enough to win," said Hannah Carson, who captured the shot put and discus titles. "Maybe our coaches knew, but if so, they weren’t telling us. So we just sat there and watched."
