It is the spring sports season so you know what that means. Track season is starting. The track team had their first practice on Monday March 4. There are 43 people out, there are 16 girls and 27 boys. There are 4 coaches including Tommy Sigler, Brady Bergmeyer, Becky Michel, and Sarah Harvey. They have 7 seniors, 3 girls and 4 boys. The girls include Elizabeth H, Piper I, and Bridget M. The boys include Colton B, Casen C, Chase C, and Trevor T.

They have their first varsity meet March 21, at Doane College. They have about 11 meets that they get to go to. They have districts on May 15. They get to have more home meets this year due to meeting their goal in donation of money last year for getting timers.

All coaches work together to come up with workouts for the various events. They have specifically designed workouts for distance runners, sprinters, and hurdlers. The coaches break the field events down as well, to work specific needs of the athletes in order to and improve on the skill throughout the season. As the year progresses, they make adjustments to their various workouts to meet the needs of the individual athletes.

“I’m looking forward to seeing the athletes improve in their respective events. It’s great to have athletes set individual goals and have them meet them as the year progresses,” Sigler said.

“I am so excited to see what new athletes we have and what they can do and get started with the meets!” Said Elizabeth H.
