The Indoor Track team puts in hard work and succeeds at meets
Indoor track is in full-swing and the team is flying through meets. Preston Klekar, a junior on the team, says one of his goals is to win states in the 4x4 event. In this event, Preston runs first, then Hason Kimble, followed by Joshua Everard, and finishing the race is Allen Blair. At the conference meet, Klekar won the 2 mile, and got second in the mile. In addition to his individual success, the boys team won conference. Preston also discusses the ins and outs of track. He states that he usually runs around three to five miles per day, and that his healthy diet is the same year-round to stay in shape.
During a normal practice, the team either runs sprints or long distances and prepares for whichever event they are participating in. When asked whether he prefers indoor track, outdoor track, or cross country more, Klekar said, "I prefer indoor because there's better competition, it's shorter distances, and it's never rainy." The team has competed in three meets this season, and they are on to post season. With the regional meet on Wednesday, February 15, the team is working hard to be ready to compete at the best of their ability. The team's dedication is a sure sign of how far they will go.
