OAK LAWN, IL — The indoor boys track and field season has only just begun, but Oak Lawn Community High School senior Ken Cabral is already speeding toward a successful season. Boasting the team’s fastest times in the 55/60-meter dash and the 200-meter dash, he is aiming for big things. His time in the 55-meter dash is currently ranked as the 13th fastest in the state of Illinois.

“Ken is a senior leader this year,” head coach John Jensen said. “He has stepped up and taken a leadership role and helps run practice. Ken is a key contributor to the sprint squad.”

Cabral, who recently committed to run track and study nursing at St. Xavier University, is closing out a four-year varsity career this winter and spring with the Spartans.
