After the boys’ team made it to the state meet last fall, athletes on the girls’ and boys’ teams are back to training at a high level.

Girls’ coach Danny Moon said the team will have more speed workouts on the track this year. Due to the huge size of girls’ team this year, they will be “working together as a complete team” to improve throughout the season.

On the other hand, the boys’ team is striving to incorporate both distance and hill runs into their weekly schedule.

“Coach [Scott] Bang really knows his stuff, so I have a lot of confidence in him and the team this year,” senior Stephen Law said.
