The first week of the season was an opportunity for students to explore the different track and field events.  Students from all grades participated in a series of running and field events. Over 130 students are on the team with numerous coaches supporting distance coach, sprint coach, field event coaches.  

Students who attended all the first week of practice were able to attend the first dual track meet against Brown Deer High School held in their field house. 

¨I think I did good for our first track meet since I pr´d in long jump¨ said Junior Shay Jackson. Jackson has participated in the long jump event since she was in 9th grade. 

Returning track athletes have significant goals this season. 

¨I want to go to state, and I want that 400 record so badly. So I plan on pushing myself harder at practice since I´m only two seconds away.”said Junior Naomi Springfield

The coaching staff is hoping for a successful season. 

¨Girls and boys track is off to a terrific start. Our staff feels we are further ahead this year then years past. We need to continue to improve and build self confidence in our athletes¨, Coach Good says.

Track has been great this past week, coaches have been taking it lightly so they don’t run the athletes away so fast. We are so excited to see how the rest of the season goes for the track team.

¨I think this is gonna be a really great season, since I’m mentally prepared this year.”, said Sophomore Londynn Dowl.
