2024 Outlook: Our strengths will be the experience we bring with our boys’ senior class and many athletes with a great deal of experience. We have the opportunity to do some great things at the league, district, and state level this year with several medalists returning and a strong indoor season. Our question marks will be on finding depth in the sprints and jumps. Although we have talent, we are still looking for a few young guys to stand out.
Our strengths for girls will be our returning core of underclass sprinters and jumpers along with our core of upperclass mid-distance and distance. We have had a balanced team across the board for the past few years. Our only question mark is finding the pieces to allow our teams to really utilize our depth to compete with our top talent. The potential for this girls’ team is something we have talked about since the end of last season, it’s now just their time to work towards it.
