TRACK STAR BAKER LEADS CHS TO ANOTHER STATE TITLE

Columbia High School track phenom Olivia Baker ended her high school career by helping her team to another state championship on Saturday.

NJ.com reports:

In the final team meet of her high school career, Olivia Baker was not perfect.

But, after finishing second in the 100-meter dash on Friday in The Star-Ledger/M-F Athletics Group 4 Championships, Baker responded with a win in the 400 and a double-gold medal day yesterday in the 800 and 200 to lead Columbia to its fifth consecutive group crown.

"It's awesome, I'm just so thankful that I've been so blessed to have such a great running career," Baker said. "It's kind of bittersweet because I'm going to miss New Jersey and running with the team."

Baker, who has reached the top of the state track world, is slated to attend Stanford University and is a top favorite for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
