Coach’s Comment: “We continuing to develop a wide range of young and valued student athletes. In addition to the basic physical requirements of running, jumping and throwing, track and field demands a variety of athletic abilities including speed, upper body strength, endurance, coordination and determination. On many levels, the individual and team competitions are full of drama, personal defeats and triumph. However, competition is simple: individual vs. individual, one on one, man vs. man. One thing I have learned about this team is that each girl is a fighter.
“To achieve you must first attempt.”
Looking Ahead: “This season’s team members have learned several life lessons that transcend the sport, such as maintaining a healthy lifestyle, setting personal goals and creating a plan to achieve them, working as a team to help other teammates reach their goals, and how to overcome personal and team setbacks. These lessons learned and the experiences that they have had are tools to be used in their future endeavors.”
