Boys track gears up for the season


by Andrea Farrington
The boys track season is starting off with warm weather and a total of 24 boys on the team, which includes three seniors, six juniors, seven sophomores, and eight freshmen.
The three seniors out this year are Stephen Vavroch, Shane Lyons and Matt Armstrong. They are all looking forward to the upcoming season.
Lyons says, “My goals for this season are to maintain good grades, get back in shape and stay involved.” He has been out for track for two years.
Vavroch’s goal is to make it to state, and it is his fourth consecutive year.
This year is Armstrong’s first year out for track. His goal is to have fun.
Coach VanVeen said, ”I am looking forward to seeing how much our returning athletes have improved from one year to the next. We have some very solid kids coming back from last year. We’ll need them to make that jump for us to compete in the conference. We also have some promising newcomers that need to make an impact.”
The boys kicked off their season with an invitational indoor meet on Tuesday, March 13 at Iowa State University.
