As girls’ track and field enter their outdoor season, the team expects a strong season due to the difference in coaching staff.

“I think this year, Coach Antczak has a little more experience with coaching, and also we have a new jumping coach and a new pole vault coach, so that should impact the team a lot,” Mackenzie Weider, sophomore varsity jumper, said.

Weider, like many others, has already bested her personal record, she’s jumping five inches higher in high jump.

Due to the sand in the jumping pit and the altogether closeness of the team, Weider believes if the team’s season had a movie, it would be Sandlot.

Not only is the team closer together, but once a teammate is injured or endures adversity, the team works together, much like the group of friends in the movie, according to Weider.

After having three indoor meets and improving their “togetherness” the team is looking forward to the more competitive outdoor season and hoping to stay healthy, according to Weider.

“I’m also looking to get some killer PRs [Personal Records],” Weider said. “It should be a great season, and I think we have some really strong competitors on the team.”
