Members of AHS’ Varsity track team are determined to end their season with success in the Almont League. Currently ranked second, the Moors have put in a tremendous amount of effort to secure their top spot with hopes of gaining the league title.
“We practice hard every day [and] we are not given room to slack off by any of the coaches which is why there have been improvements for many [of our runners],” distance runner Joanne Tan said.
Their efforts were demonstrated against Bell Gardens as a majority of the Moors showed signs of improvement in midst of the tough competition. According to Tan, one of the team’s components of success is their ability to mentally support one another in order to ease the stress associated with competition.
“Seeing all the ups and downs that all the teams [experienced] throughout the years, meeting new members and the thrill of competing against other schools [has been a fun experience],” Tan said.
Like Tan, this season will be many graduating seniors’ last and it is for that reason that the Moors are determined to add to their history of success.
