OUTLOOK:"We have about 25 men out this year, and more than half are either Freshmen, or out for track for the first time. We will be fairly young, but have a good group of upper classmen to provide leadership. Most of these young men were on the football or basketball teams which made tremendous improvement, and I expect that to carry over to the track season. We have also been very successful in qualifying individuals for the state meet the last several years, and I think that gives the younger kids something to shoot for. I feel this team will have to be more balanced, and not rely on one or two individuals to carry the team. I look for this team to continue to improve through out the year, and be very competitive in our league and district meets," Coach Steve Fisher said.
