Thunder Mountain’s boys’ 4-x-200-meter relay team had it in the bag. The school’s first state championship in any sport was locked up after a stirring win during the finals Saturday at the ASAA/First National Bank Alaska Track & Field Championships at Lathrop High School in Fairbanks.

Juneau-Douglas took first place at the Region V Track & Field Championships on both the girls’ and boys’ sides last weekend, marking the 48th and 49th consecutive combined titles for the two teams.
