The Girls Track and Field team has officially kicked off their outdoor season and has started to practice outdoors. The team is welcoming back many seniors and they are hoping to make the best of their last season. The girls have their first official indoor/outdoor meet on Monday, March 25th at SPIRE Institute. The running events will be held on the 300 meter track inside of SPIRE and the throwing events will be taking place outdoors on the shot-put and discus pits.
Senior, Abby Piert states that, "The girls track team works hard to continuously get faster and stronger. We will be sure to perform very well together, we are a family that cannot be broken apart."
There are many new faces being added to the Girls Track and Field team, coming mostly from the freshman class. While the sprinters always seem to have a larger group than most of the other events, the throwers have added a plethora of newbies. Freshmen Madelyn Moretti and Becca Martin are two of the newest additions to the throwers. They are working constantly on perfecting their techniques out in the pits and getting stronger in the weight room.
While the throwers are working on getting stronger in the weight room, the sprinters are working on getting faster out on the track. Sophomore Lexi Fleischer is looking forward to what this season will hold and hopes to make it to District Finals this year in the 100 meter dash. She says that she, "Loves the competition that comes along with track and I’ve never seen a group of girls get so close in such little time. This time of year brings lots of potential in success, with a bond that will help us all work harder together.”
Senior Alyssa Caruthers is starting her “comeback season” as she is about to be 5 months out from her ACL reconstruction surgery and feeling great! She has been practicing with the track team and is hoping that she will be able to participate in the meets before her final season of track ends. Upon her return, Alyssa will be running the 400 meter dash.
Come out and support your Lady Blue Streaks who are running on the track, jumping, or throwing in the pits this season!
