The track season’s meets have officially begun. All of our participating athletes are very excited to begin competing with other schools.
On March 18, the athletes participated in a variety of events such as various running events, javelin, shot put, discus, and pole vault.
Based on the first meet on March 18, a few of the athletes noticed that there are some things they need to improve on.
Junior Grace Allgaier responded, “I need to get a faster 800 time and work on my endurance so that I can do longer races once my foot is better.”
Bailey Leuthauser, sophomore, thinks “[she] needs to work more on javelin.”
“My endurance and keeping the same pace the whole race,” senior Joseph Rethemeyer stated.
When it came to the meet itself, most surveyed had hoped they had done better.
Joseph Rethemeyer “was hoping for a little better times.”
Bailey Leuthauser thought she could have simply done better.
Grace Allgaier “would've liked to do better but [she is] still pretty out of shape and has been having some problems with [her] feet.”
On a brighter side, all of the athletes have improved in some way since the last season.
“I have gotten my discus throw under control,” Bailey Leuthauser pointed out.
Joseph Rethemeyer stated that he and the rest of the team have all gotten more experience.
Based on how the first meet went, the team expects to continue improving and, as stated by Demetri Pataky, “win win win!”
