Track work underway

The resurfacing of the track is in progress. The new surface promises to be nice and fast. It has me already looking forward to spring. Thanks to all who were part of the process in making that happen.

 We have also been working on some other improvements to our track and field complex. A new slab was laid for another discus circle. We had the triple jump runway replaced- it was heaving up and uneven. There was some concrete repair work done to one of the jump pits. A practice runway was made for the pole vault, which will mean less switching of the pits for practice. Cable was run from the finish line to the press box for our timing system which means no more running cable over the track or hoping the wireless system works. A huge thanks to Pete, Rod, Aaron, Scott McCabe and anyone else who helped with those projects.

Academic Awards

The Boys and Girls Storm Track and Field teams both received the Gold Award for team academic performance for the 2011 season. The award is sponsored by McDonald's and the Minnesota High School Coaches Association.  Great job team!
