10-9, takes
second
Success has been slow in
coming for the McNary High
School lacrosse team, but 2014
was a banner year.
The Celts started and fin-
ished with wins over South
Salem High School, a team
the Celts hadn’t beat since the
club was first formed.
McNary finished sec-
ond overall in its league and
walked away with a winning
record (7-3 in league, 10-9
overall) for the first time in its
history.

so in school
history. She
also
an-
G. Hittner
chored
a
4x400 relay
team

set a new
conference
record at the
meet.

took
in-
dividual
