With the final NCL meet today, the the team is preparing to overrun competitors in the Division I girls’ track and field state tournament.
“We want to continue our legacy of winning the NCL title for what may be the fifth year in a row,” head coach Joe Lutz said. “Winning the league will give us great momentum going into the state tournament.”
While today’s NCL meet marks the halfway point for the season, it is only the beginning of the long road ahead. The girls still have to qualify at district and regional meets to compete in the state tournament.
“We’re still trying to work out our relay team combos and complete our team aspect,” Lutz said regarding the team’s preparation for post-season play. “As for our presence at the state meet, Julianna Libertin, Krissy Sokol and Taylor Williams all have a solid shot at making it far in the tournament.”
Sokol is enthusiastic about her ranking as this year may be her first playoff run.
“I’ve been working really hard these past four years but I’ve come up short of states,” Sokol said. “This is what I’ve been waiting for and I’m ready to seize the opportunity. I’m really excited to compete and I hope I can make a deep run in the tournament.”
Libertin will be defending the title she earned last year in Division II, while Williams will also be making her last appearance in tournaments. All three seniors are looking to make the most of their last year and are eager to represent their school in Columbus.
Notre Dame Cathedral Latin expects to challenge the Knights along with all other North Coast League schools at 4:00 PM today at Padua Franciscan High School.
