I think that there will be a big crowds Saturday and I’m looking forward to entertaining everyone that attends.”

On Saturday March 24, the girls track team will be participating in the Versailles Invitational Track Meet. When asked about the first meet, Junior Darrian Hoerig said, “I am very anxious to run in our first meet. It is one of the bigger meets that we run in, so there will be a lot of good competition there. We’ve been preparing for several weeks now, so I hope that we can compete with the other teams there.”

Senior track star Erika Frey said, “With our girls 4×4 team doing as well as we did last year, we are looking to have a very good first meet Saturday so that we can prepare ourselves for the state meet in June.”
