"We have many that automatically qualified for State and hopefully some more that will," he said. "I know we celebrate big for those athletes and rightfully so, but all of our athletes should be celebrated the same way. We had some kids like Carter Swihart that ran the 300 hurdles today, and only has run them once all year to try score points for his team. Our 4 x 100 teams-- it was some of the kids' only event of the day and they traveled hours away to run that one event to try and score points for their team. Some of our throwers are the same way--that's their only event, so I am super proud of them. We had a lot of young athletes that this was their first region and they will be big-time contributors for the next couple of years for our team."

We would love for more athletes to come out for track. If you do not want to run, come out and try shot and disc. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
