Head coach Tim Waldner said, “Our team goals are always to try to win conference and get as many people to state as we can.” The team has begun preparation to reach this goal by completing workout stations and beginning their conditioning for individual events.
Coach Waldner said he hopes the kids “learn how to compete, learn how to prepare themselves for an event, and hopefully get better for whatever sport they are working for, even if it isn’t track.”
The team will begin competition on Tuesday, March 29, as they take part in the Dan Lennon Track Meet at USD.
