They have come a long way since the first meet. When spoken to Coach Mrs. Miller said only good things about the team “The Girls Track Team started the season with its first ever indoor meet. Due to our rainy spring, we’ve had to cancel several of our early outdoor meets, but we’re hoping for improvement in the weather for our remaining meets and to be at full strength again, after losing key team members (Lindsay Suelter and Alleea Todd) for several meets due to illnesses. I’ve really relied on my seniors for leadership this year and Captains Stephanie Lewis and Nikki Markovich have helped tremendously at practices with training some of our first year athletes. Abbey Capperrune has really come on strong in the sprints and we’d like to see some continuity in our relays again with Alleea and Lindsay back at full strength. Amber Golden and Karen Rodriguez are our only two juniors out this year and will have to step up to take over for our soon-to-be-graduating seniors.
