4/5/2019 0 Comments Jags Run the TrackBy Samantha Bostrom The Girls Track team has taken on three meets so far this season starting at Foley High School on March 30th, First Light Wellness Center/Mora Elementary on April 2nd and another on April 4th at Braham High School.
The team took on their first meet at Foley with a short-handed crew, Hallie Rootkie and Kendyl Von Ruden being the lone representatives for the Jaguars while the rest of the athletes were on spring break trips. Hallie earned a point in the triple jump earning 5th place. Altogether the team has seven athletes this year, five of them are returning athletes from last years team. Girls Head Coach, Ben Vickstrom says, “[The strengths that the team are bringing this year are teamwork and their] willingness to try new events and stay positive.” and that some goals for the team are “[f]or the athletes to have fun, try their best, and to have no serious injuries.” Coach Vickstrom is really looking forward to practicing outside and watching all of the hard work pay off at the end of the season when the athletes perform at bigger meets. With that said, so far this season the weather has been switching it up frequently with a little snow here and there, but the forecast so far for their next meet on April 9th is looking a bit chilly. Come on out and support the Jags, but remember to stay warm in this Minnesota weather.
