Track Team Title

The story of how tiny Rochelle High School — enrollment: 59 — won the Texas Class A girls team track championship over the weekend sounds too good to be true. Only it might be better than that.

For one thing, it was the Hornets' second straight title.

For another, the only member of the team both years was Bonnie Richardson.

Richardson won two of five individual events, finished second and third in two others and fourth in the 100 meters. Never mind that she couldn't compete in the relays, which offer double the points per event, or that the track Richardson trains on is little more than a rutted dirt path.

She single-handedly beat 56 schools, again.
