2024 Outlook:
Boys Team We are looking strong in the throwing and distance events. We have a few new athletes this season that are showing promise in sprints, mid-distance, and hurdles. Although we lost a lot of jumpers last year, we have a young group coming up that we are excited about.
The cross country team had a strong season and the lead runners joined track. This is our last season in the Schuylkill League. We really enjoyed working with Schuylkill League teams and wish them the best of luck.
Girls Team: Our girls have been working hard throughout the off season, competing in indoor competitions when available. We look strong in throwing, jumping events, sprints, and hurdles. Although we lost a lot of jumpers last year, we have a young group coming up that we are excited about.
Our numbers in distance events will be our biggest struggle. This is our last season in the Schuylkill League. We really enjoyed working with Schuylkill League teams and wish them the best of luck.
