The girls and boys Track and Field teams kick started their season with incredible momentum, and their performances reached new heights on February 21, 2017 during their third meet of the season.

“The performance was exceptional” said junior David Brickhouse, who competed in the 1600 meter run alongside numerous other leaders in this meet. The boys were able to obtain a landslide win over their competitors -East Bay and Strawberry Crest- by earning 166 points, leaving runner- up Strawberry Crest with a mere 33 points. The results of the meet set a promising tone for the rest of the season, and Brickhouse agrees “I think we are going to do great things.”

The girls team was also able to showcase their talent by obtaining 74 points, earning them another first place win for the season. Katie Dunn stated, ” we all gave everything we had and left it on the track.” The team also shows immense promise for the rest of their season, given their strong win in this meet.

Key leaders arose as each team demonstrated immense effort and skill during each event, and every facet of each respective team was able to show its stripes throughout the entirety of the meet. These skills will continue to make Newsome Track and Field stand out among its competitors, and will likely lead to immense success within the coming weeks.
