The winter season is up and running for the boys indoor track team. 

The boys indoor track team has been a very successful team the past few years and looks to continue that this season. 

“I feel excited for a new season because of how much bigger a team and some really good runners we have,” freshman Jake Ackley said. “I’m hoping for a great season and hopefully get a banner.”

The track team is the biggest team at this high school with over 100 participants.

“It can be difficult to manage the large amount of athletes and all the different events they do; thankfully, we have the captains step up and take charge and help out a lot, we also have different coaches for the events, ” assistant coach Ms. Corriveau said. “We really divide and conquer.” 

For some of the boys on the team it is their last season, one of which is senior Rayshon Jacobs. Jacobs is one of the team’s sprinters and last year attended nationals for the 800 meter medley. 

“I would like to improve on how we come together as a team earlier in the season and not just when the season is over,” Jacobs said. “If we work hard from the beginning to end, our record should come out better.” 

Team members said that indoor track meets are a very enjoyable experience.

“I’m pretty hyped for the season this year; we have a great team trying to improve,” junior Ethan Harrigan said. “I’m looking forward to the indoor meets because there’s always a great atmosphere and everyone has fun.” 

The boys and the coaches are really looking forward to this season and with the hard work they have already been putting their there will be great results expected. 

“I’m excited to see how different indoor track is from outdoor and cross country, I’m expecting people to get new PRs since every practice I feel improvement and so does everyone else I talk to,” senior Jacob Ciolkosz said. “My favorite part of the season is meets where we can all show how hard we have worked in practice.”
