Medals, Spirit and Determination

The story of the freshmen/sophomore meet is one of great determination and spirit. All of the athletes who competed were excited, nervous, and not exactly sure what to expect. Their hard work and determination is what carried them through the night. Although they were nervous, they ran extremely well. What was most impressive, is the fact that each one of them finished all of their races with tremendous kicks. The frosh/soph team is a group of young people with unlimited potential. Meet highlights are below.
