The 2018 Outdoor Track season is going to be something no one expects, from jumpers, to distance to sprints, to throws; the MHS track team will not disappoint you. They are a family that continues to push each other to reach their best potential. The girls and boys teams are both expected to have a very successful season. On Wednesday, April 11th at 4 PM you can come down to the Madison High School track to see all the lovely smiling faces of the track family as they compete against the Riverside Beavers. Some students that might catch your eye are Nick Amos, Nolan Landis, Sydney Guyer, and Hannah Gabor.
Nick is coming into the outdoor season right off of a strong 2018 indoor season with some personal records of a 4:31 1600, 10:07 3200 and 2:05 800. He says “I think we have a vary solid underclassmen team. We have a strong backbone for upcoming years.” Nick wants to get under a 4:30 in the 1600 as well as under 10 minutes in the 3200.
Hannah has a personal record for the 100 meter hurdles of a 17.6. She wants to work towards getting her steps down to a 3 step between the hurdles and hopefully make it past districts. She would also like to prove that after experiencing an injury the previous year, she is back and better than before.
Nolan Landis is something different altogether. He came back to Madison this year after going away to school in PA. He has an outstanding personal record of 58’10” for shot and a 191’4” for discus. He would like to break 200 feet in discus, and 60 feet in shot, both huge milestones in throwing.
Sydney Guyer is a powerhouse sophomore who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty with throwing. She has a personal record for shot of 30’5” and would like to continue to hit new PRs through out the season.
The 2018 outdoor season has a lot of potential and a lot of outstanding athletes. Don't forget to come and watch your favorite group of people tear up the track on Wednesday, April 11th at 4 PM. The more people that come and cheer, the faster athletes run, the farther they throw. Make some noise and come support.
