As with the other spring sports, the track season is quickly coming to an end. The boy’s team has competed in seven meets and has won four so far. The girl’s team has competed in eight meets this season and has won five of those.
For nearly all of the meets the weather has been cold, rainy, or both in some cases. “It really annoys me that is has been so awful outside,” said Burris junior Molly Boylan, “it makes it difficult to be excited for meets and to perform well.”
The only competitions left for the boys and girls are the Madison Grant Relays on May 6, Mid-Eastern Conference on May 10, and finally Sectionals. Sectionals take place on May 17 and May 19 for the girls and boys respectively.
This is not only then end of the season, but also the end of a high school athletic career for seniors. “I’m sad that this is my last track season,” said Burris senior Hannah Clemmons, “I will miss long jump.” Clemmons has helped the team win 3 conference championships, setting a new long jump record for Burris at last years conference at 17 and ¼ inches. She has also gone to regional’s her sophomore and junior years competing in the 4x4, 400 meter dash, and long jump.
