Catholic high school girls teams open spring sports seasons in Diocese of Wilmington on Monday

442
The Saint Mark's Spartans get together after the final whistle of the 2022 girls Division II championship game. It was the sixth title for the program.

After a weekend that felt a little more January than March, the girls’ high school sports season gets underway this week with a busy schedule. Teams began practicing in late February and are ready to hit the fields for games that count in the standings.

Among the girls’ sports, Catholic high schools will be defending two soccer and track and field state championships, but that’s a long way off. All records for this week only are 0-0.
