Track seniors ready for next stage
The 2016 track season is coming to a close, with the district meet on April 12 to 14. For the seniors on the varsity girls team, the end of the season will also mark the end of this phase of their life. In a few short months, they will be graduating, starting college, and studying for a range of majors but the memories they made and the lessons they learned will always be with them.
