Ashley Orr leads Wildcat women to 2nd place finish

Ashley Orr emerged as one of the premier track and field athletes in Virginia in leading the DRHS women to a strong 2nd place showing at the CNU high school Winter Frolic. She contributed 20 individual points with a 2nd in the 55M dash (7.54) , a 4th in the 300M dash (44.13), and a 2nd in the triple jump (36' 3"). She also contributed to the 1st place 4x200 M relay.
