Since our return to school in January, the track athletes at Heyworth High School have been preparing for the season ahead. Enduring workouts in the winter weather, sprinting down the hallways, and training in the weight room, they've demonstrated their commitment to this sport. Despite the official season only kicking off this week, the track team has wasted no time and already has two meets under their belt.
The girl's team competed at the Clinton Early Bird Invite on February 17th at the Shirk Center at IWU. This was the team’s second year attending this meet, and it was one of the first opportunities to compete across the state. Some stand-out performances from the meet include Danielle Strunk placing 2nd in the 200m with a time of 27.52, Carsyn Langellier placing 5th in the long jump with a mark of 4.53m, and the 4x200 team consisting of Carsyn Langellier, Danielle Strunk, Abby Bloemer, and Reese Hill placing 6th with a time of 1.55.93.

The boy's team traveled to Mt Zion to compete at the Mt Zion Boys Mini Meet on February 23rd. Mt Zion's facility was only built in the past 10 years, so the team has attended this meet for just a couple of years. This year, the boy's team had great success this past weekend. Some stand-out performances from the meet include Jeffrey Klawitter placing 6th in long jump with a mark of 5.64m, Nathaniel Roehrig placing 2nd in the 800m with a time of 2:14.87, and Alex Dahlhauser placing 2nd in the 200m with a time of 25.26.
