Community members don't truly realize what a fantastic bunch of young men and women we have on our track team. Through all their ups and downs they have persevered. They kept on practicing, they dug deep to do their utmost personal best. Most of those that went to the State Championships weren't even expected to have qualified. And every single one of them dug deep and gave everything they had and left it the track. As parent and Team Mom, I am extremely proud of each and every team member who came out and gave it their all. 

We bid a sad farewell to our . We wish them all best.
