Ending the season 6-1 overall, being League Champions, and finally beating Groves has proved a successful season for Seaholm’s Track Team.
“We did really really well this year,” said junior distance runner Will Kane.
Kane was one in four of the 800-meter relay runners who took home the first place title at the League meet. The relay also consisted of Harrison Gardner, Ted Howard, and Matt Sienkewitz.
Also keeping Seaholm on top of the scoreboard was senior Ted Howard, who single-handedly scored the boys thirty points at Leagues.
Howard took first place in the 800-meter, 1600-meter, and 3200-meter races.
But the runners weren’t the only ones scoring big at Leagues.
Junior Stephen Burke was named League Champion
for the high-jump. Burke will be a top contender going
into the regional meet and may even be a returning
member to the state team.
“Everything just seemed to fall into place for the league meet, so hopefully it will be the same for regionals,” Burke said.
With the victory at Leagues under their belts, the team looks to be successful at the Regional Meet.
“The girls got fourth at the League Meet and there are definitely people who are prepared to go to states,” said junior distance runner Lindsey Mandich. Girls track ended the season 3-2-1.
“It will be difficult because we are division one now, but we have plenty of runners who can get good times and qualify for the state meet,” said Kane.
But what will happen next year when the seniors are running off to college?
“We have big holes to fill, but we have some good juniors,” said Coach Jeff Devantier. “Will Kane will continue to be tough to beat. Stephen Burke is another big one coming back.”
“It’s definitely going to be tougher next year, but we have some great returning varsity runners,” said Kane
“The girls will peak next year because most of our talent is underclassman,” Mandich said. “It’s going to be a fabulous year.”
