The Menlo-Atherton track and field teams made important strides forward at the 2016 Peninsula Athletic League Championships on Saturday at M-A, with each squad making up for disappointments of a year ago.

The M-A girls, who lost last year’s title to Mills by a single point, avenged that defeat in a big way as the Bears scored 152 points with Mills second with 90. The M-A boys, who finished 58 points behind first-place Mills in 2015, nearly made up that difference — finishing second just two points behind the Vikings.
