As we go into our conference track meet today, we want to wish all of our junior high and high school track athletes the best of luck.
From Coach Bates “We have had a phenomenal season with all of our athletes. Many have won medals at several of the meets we’ve participated in. But more importantly, all of them have experienced winning in their own way.”
“Winning for our team does not always look like a medal or a plague. For us, it looks like a new Personal Record in a field event or running event. For us, it is the long distance runner who is able to get that sprint in the last 100-150 meters to pass an opponent or to get a better time. It is the athlete who decided to try a new event and challenge themselves beyond the one or two events they’ve seen success in over the years. Or the athlete who had never participated in track and decided this was their year and nothing was going to stop them.”
“Regardless of how we end the day, Coach Donaldson and I are so proud of the work and effort all of our athletes have put in this season and have enjoyed getting to witness the moments you have exceeded even your own expectations.”
Run Fast, Throw Far, Jump High!
GO TIGERS!
