Boys Track and Field
To get someplace you have never been, you have to do some things you have never done,” is the motto that the boys track and field team is living by as it prepares for the season. With the leadership of senior captains Jason Green, Chris Alto, Lawrence Wynn and Dan Solomon the team is hoping to go farther than they went last season.

“This season we have a lot of experienced runners,” head coach Dave Arbogast said. “They are at the top of their game.”

After winning the North Coast League championship last season and placing third at districts the team hopes to repeat as NCL champions and to qualify for states.

“Our goal this year is to get our fourth NCL title,” Arbogast said. “We also want to send people to states this year.”

Senior captain Jason Green agrees with Arbogast.

“Our work ethic and determination will help us meet our goals this season,” Green said. “Some of us have been training all year to meet our goals.”

With the snow melted the team is anxious to take the track and bring on the competition.

Girls Track and Field
Coming off an inspirational 2009 season, the girls track and field team looks to complete another undefeated campaign. With five first-team NCL athletes: Kaitlyn Chrostowski, Meghan Bartlebaugh, Juliana Libertin, Allie Weiss and Margaret Woods; and two second-team NCL members: Alex Kepler and Hayley Rowan returning, this year’s team has the experience needed to achieve glory.

“We want to continue our success,” junior Katie Chrostowski said. “We are ready to take on any team we run against.”

With returning NCL Coach of the Year Joe Lutz, the team will undoubtedly be a team to reckon with as the starting guns fire.

“After placing fourth in the state and winning the NCL title for four years in a row we are looking to continue our legacy,” Lutz said. “We have just moved up to Division I and the competition will be tougher.”

Behind Coach Lutz is hurdles coach Chuck McVan, distance coach Joe Zampino and discus/shot-put coach Joe Bodnar.

The girls face the Cuyahoga Falls Black Tigers at Hoban’s Dowed Field this Saturday, March 27 at 12:00 P.M.
