Apollo Track & Field

We have started our Winter Running Club and this year we do have a short distance group as well as a long distance group! All students are welcome to join and can join at anytime! We meet M-W-F from 3:30-5:15ish and have dress up themes each Friday! We have grown tremendously compared to prior years and it is a lot of fun! Today was ugly sweater day and ice bath hang out with light up floaties and food prior!

Now that I finally have had a chance to catch my breath after sections and graduation... here is an update on how sections went!

The meet had a little bit of everything and kept the athletes, coaches, and parents on edge from start to finish! There were falls, runners battling all the way to the line, field event athletes showing how strong, and tight team races! The girls team race came down to the final event of the meet... Due to the ferocity and heart of the girls at the meet, we finished 2nd out of 12 teams and brought home a SWEET plaque. To make it all that more amazing is that we only had 17 girls competing in TOTAL!

We had some state qualifiers and many podium/medalists from the 2 days of the Section 5AA meet! The top 6 finishers received medals and top 8 made the podium! The top 2 finishers qualify for
