Week 2 Recap: First taste of competition 

Our track/field team had a good showing at our first meets of the season. I couldn’t be more proud of the way everyone went out and competed. We saw standout performances across the board—whether it was personal bests, top finishes, or simply battling through tough chilly conditions to earn valuable experience. Every athlete who stepped on the track or into the field brought energy and effort, and that’s exactly what we want to see this early in the season.

What’s even more exciting is that this is just the beginning. We have so much room to grow, and with the work we’re putting in at practice, the improvements will come. Every rep, every workout, and every meet is another opportunity to sharpen our skills and build toward something great.

Let’s carry this momentum forward and keep pushing each other to be better every day. Next meet, next challenge—let’s go get it!
