Interim Head Track and Field Coach David Pickett
"It's a great day when you can open the season with lifetime bests and school records. This group took full advantage of the opportunity to get a quality rep in before Christmas break. I've been saying it all fall, this is a special group, and today it showed.  The freshman had a big start to the 2023 season, with Clare and Julianna setting school records and Sara and Sam posting the second bests performances in school history. What a great way for them to start their careers."
