This is the third consecutive year for the girl's track team to win a state championship.

The Helena girls earned 129 team points during the state Class AA track tournament.

According to the Helena Public School's (HPS) athletic director, Tim McMahon, state champions on any team from high schools in Helena can ride in a fire truck.

McMahon said the partnership between HPS and the Helena Fire Department has been going on for roughly 30 years, as often as possible.
