Halfway through the season, girls indoor track participated in a meet on Jan. 6. at Thomas Jefferson Community Center. The meet did not keep score but the team felt as if they did well regardless.
Although the meet came straight after winter break, girls winter track still tried their hardest.
“This past meet, I tried to better my time in the 300m because I have been practicing really hard,” junior Ngoc-Tran Nguyen said. “The 4×400 relay on Jan. 6 did pretty well, so I was also prepared to show off my team and all of the hard work put forth into the sport.”
Improvement for the team is important and the meet   gave an idea to what each runner needed to work on.
“I looked forward to pr (personal record) in the 500m which was to beat my time of 1:31,” senior Brooke Thadeus said.
While coach Phil Harris has a goal in mind for the relay teams as a whole.
“We are trying to get our relays in the top now but each one of our relays are playing with our speed people to try to see if we can do something to make it a little different,” Harris said.
“Looking back on the season, so far it’s been a great one and just keeps improving. Junior Gabriela Jordan It is getting closer and closer to the end of the indoor track season, new runners are beginning to put in more work through each meet,. Junior Gabriela Jordan said
