2024 Outlook: Our sprint and hurdle group is as strong as we’ve ever been. Alexandra Lea will be the cornerstone to our girls team. She is the returning district 11 champion in the 200 and 400. We also anticipate her playing a large role in our relays and can long jump for us as well.
We are also solid in the distance events and expect good contributions from a few of our newcomers. While not as strong, our jumps will be solid this year. Our throws group young and will contribute throughout the season.
