  If little acorns grow mighty oaks, then Newton South has a new greenhouse!
Newton South was the host for the DCL J.V. track championships held last Wednesday in the fieldhouse. This was a day to spotlight the developing track and field athletes. What a remarkable event and with so much excitement. It commenced with several member of this coed track team singing the national anthem. The melody of their voices had the crowd mesmerized. Some of the visiting competitors requested that they perform at the Varsity DCL Championships too.

It has been 5 years since Newton South hosted the DCL J.V. Championships in the fieldhouse and this year's event has proven to be one of the most exciting meets for south's developing track stars.
