The teams boast a total of 140 athletes, the largest-ever number. "Overall, we have a great team of athletes," coach Jennifer McDowell said. "Even with many new athletes, they came in strong and ready to learn. Many are multiple-sport athletes which really helps since they have a good athletic base. Track is a sport that benefits all other sports. They gain speed, endurance, and strength." Comments are closed.
