The varsity track team has proven themselves far past their expectations by going undefeated in preseason with a record of 6-0. They have also won all of their Almont League meets with a record of 5-0.
Their biggest goal is to triumph as league champions. According to Coach Jacob Ochoa, a lot of practice and hard work has contributed to their current success but the team should strive to do even better for league finals.
The coaches are even stricter this year compared to previous years. Not only have they added more practices, but they have also demonstrated their excellent work ethic through maintaining a rigorous training schedule.
“We cannot miss practice, or we cannot compete,” varsity runner Lee Yee Pee said.
The team has been working hard with more running and longer practices. The team, overall, feels they have been thriving, mostly because they have won all preseason track meets and use it as motivation to continue on for the rest of track season.
On April 14, there was a league meet against Mark Keppel, which resulted in another win for the Moors. However, the team felt that they could have achieved much more.They used their bi-week (a week without any meets) as preparation for their next and final league meet.
“I feel we shouldn’t take this team lightly and do the best we can,” sophomore Ezra Broadus said.
Their preparation and devotion was a success as they won their final league meet against Schurr on April 28. Not only was this a milestone for the track team, as the Spartans are one of the strongest opponents in the league, but it also marks an undefeated season for the Moors.
Following this accomplishment, the varsity boys’ were victorious as league champions. Their success is a testament to the tough workouts they have endured over the season.
The track team is planning to use their current league champion status as motivation to inspire next years’s squad. Despite their successes, the Moors are still looking to make improvements in order to excel even further next season.
