On February 8th, the girls of JFK Bellmore will have their County Class Championship meet for winter track. The total team consists of 28 girls and there will be 10 who will have the opportunity to compete at this meet. However, in order to qualify for this meet there will be a seeding meeting a few days prior to the championship meet. I would be excited to have all 10 girls compete, but unfortunately I think only four will be able to compete.
