Boonsboro's Abby Duncan and Smithsburg's Chad Greene had almost identically perfect days at Saturday's Maryland Class 1A West Indoor Track & Field Championships at the HCC athletic complex. Duncan led the Warriors girls to a resounding team victory by winning the 55 and 300 dashes and anchoring Boonsboro's title-winning 4x200 and 4x400 relays. Greene pulled off the exact same 4-for-4 performance for Smithsburg's boys - though he ran the second leg of the 4x200 and the third leg of the 4x400 - as the Leopards also won a team championship.

The Boonsboro girls indoor track and field team used this season as a ladder. And the Warriors nearly reached the top in their climb.
