Powerhouse Bloomington South girls track team bolts to IHSAA sectional title

The Panthers dominated a still rainy day with perhaps an all-time performance, scoring the most points ever at the local sectional, with 207½ topping North's 189 in 2019 thanks to nine individual titles and a sweep of the relays. South went 1-2 in five events and broke five meet records and a school record.
