SJHS is leaping, sprinting and throwing with track. Track season has begun, and the students at SJHS are very excited and looking forward to it. Peggy Sorenson, eighth-grade distance runner, said, “I’m most looking forward to track because this year we are going to beat Mapleton!”
Track is a school sport for anyone and everyone who wants to join. The track team practices every day after school until 4:30. On Wednesdays, students get to practice at Springville High School; Anna Bunnell, eighth grader, said, “ I like practicing at the real track because it gives us a feel of what we’ll be racing on when we actually compete at meets.”
According to Mr. Strong, track head coach, track isn’t all about running. He said, “Track has many different events that you can choose from, if you don’t like running, no problem! You can choose to throw, or do jumping events.”
The team is practicing hard so that they can perform their best at the next meet. Annee Lange, eighth-grade track member, said, “track is fun and good for you, so if you like to run or not, it doesn’t really matter…get signed up for track and prepare to have the best time of your life!”
