As the Urbana High girls track and field team prepared to extend its dominance at this week's county meet, the team's sprints and jumps coach Muhammad Halim is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.

Halim chats with host Greg Swatek about how he became involved with the program and what makes it so successful. The Hawks were bidding for their 10th consecutive team championship in the girls county meet.

The two discuss what makes Urbana seniors Divine Bamgboye and Felicia Siewe so remarkable as athletes and people. Both rank among the top athletes in the county in multiple events and both will compete in college at Ivy League Schools, Bamgboye at Cornell and Siewe at Harvard.

And Halim talks about his own remarkable background as a track athlete, which includes competing in the triple jump for his native Virgin Islands at the 2012 Olympics in London and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. What was it like competing on the Olympic stage? What was it like staying in the Olympic Village? Who did he see?

Prior to that discussion, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to preview the spring playoffs for high school sports, as they get underway across Frederick County.
