The Chelsea girls track and field team came away with two wins at the double dual meet on Tuesday night against Dexter and Lincoln.
It came down to the last two events of the evening, 3200m run and 4x400m relay, to secure the victory over Dexter. Many individuals stepped and contributed to the win both against Dexter and Lincoln.
