2024 Outlook:
Girls: The NL girls’ team seems to have some depth and talent spread around to many of the events with the focal point being mid-distance. They bring back a strong 4x400m relay team along with a 4x800m relay team that broke the school record last year to claim 3rd at the District Championship Meet.
Evelina Mayak showed growth in the hurdles every meet last year, capping the season as a District Champion and a trip to States.
Boys: The NL boys will have some early season learning with youth and inexperience. As a young team they will look forward to the first meet to see how they stack up against the competition.
