Today was maybe the weirdest track meet I’ve ever been a part of…there were so many highs and lows throughout the day…but somehow, someway, these guys found a way to get it done and become the second group of STORM to be STATE CHAMPS in 3 years. It is yours FOREVER ⚡️⚡️

Now that the trophy is finished, the rings are in and the banners are here, it’s time to put 2019 in the past and look to what can be done in 2020. Seniors, what will your legacy be: 4x conference champs? 3x sectional champs? Get back to the podium in Charleston? You decide...

These 4 are the most important people in the world to me! They do so much to support the team in so many ways, being at meets, cooking team dinners, practicing with the track boys, being their 2nd Supe in the building. I love them so much and couldn’t do it without them ⚡️⚡️

By my count, we have 35 guys coming out for track this year, we have 141 guys in the school, that’s 25% out for track. That’s awesome!! Compared to 13 guys out two years ago, or roughly 9% of the guys in the school. This program keeps getting better and better ⚡️⚡️
