On January 8, the boys JV Track team had
their third meet of the season. Through these JV meets, athletes who show
extraordinary performance will make it to the varsity level, so these meets are
important to look for future varsity members. Not only do the coaches and
captains look for athletes for the present season but also for seasons to come.
Current captain, senior Christian Lundin, spoke of what he thinks is most
important during these meets.
“We have a lot of promising athletes who
are showing some potential which is important. In the future, we’re going to be
losing a lot of our best guys and we need a lot of people to step up and it’s
looking like some of these guys are going to be able to fill these roles,” said
Lundin.
Track athletes spend much of their time
improving on their running skills throughout the year in hopes that they will
graduate from the JV team to Varsity.
Many members of the team have shown hard work and dedication which has
helped the team succeed. Senior Ricky Metters, who is not only a member of the
JV team, but also an alternate for the Varsity team wishes he could dedicate
all of his time to one team only.
“We have to do pre-meets when the JV
does workouts and we can’t run during the meets, and end up missing double the
workout which is not fun. I think each
of us [alternates] has missed the equivalent of six or seven workouts this
season because of being alternates. I’d
rather do either Varsity or JV rather than be on both teams at once,” said
Metters.
The boys JV Track team may be considered
the underdogs compared to the Varsity boys, but in the future, they are going
to be very useful team leaders. The boys
are without a doubt a very strong and determined team and many of them are
definitely going to lead the team to victory.
