of team you expect to
have: “(The) boys team
is very well rounded with
some new solid sprinters,
distance runners and
throwers. We expect to be
competitive in all events.
Girls team is young. We
have four times as many
girls as last season. Many
of the girls are solid in
multiple events.”
Coach’s key to a successful
season: To continue “to
operate with the team
mentality. We have
enough numbers this year
where the kids can push
each other to improve in
practice.”

for a successful season:
“As always I am excited for
the track season to start. It
provides another opportu-
nity to work with a bunch of
hard-working boys and girls
and help them reach their
goals. This group of young
adults are good citizens
and fun to be around. Each
day is another great day in
