MSD Community Update for May 24

For the first time since 1986, the Manville Mustangs Track and Field Team won the Skyland Conference Divisional Championship! This is an incredible accomplishment for our team! The team was led by Professor Ceo, who came in second on the High Jump with a mark of 6’0, and Rian Sanders, who came in third on the Discus with a throw of 136-8. It was a GREAT day to be a Mustang!
