Chadron Cardinal's Track Season

        The 2019 track team has impressed the five coaches with all of the talent in the air. Every coach has had many expectations reached, and they always enjoy being impressed by their athletes.
        Running events have had great improvement this year, with many athletes giving tremendous effort and significant consistency throughout the season. As a whole coaching staff Sidney has been agreed upon to be a competitor this year in a wide range of events. Although, the Cardinals have worked hard during this season and are able to keep the continuous competitiveness.
        The Chadron Cardinals track team welcomed four of five new coaches this year. New head coach, Blakelee Hoffman, has been much triumph with all of the runners, jumpers, and throwers. She said the team has really stood out this season, with several winnings and placings.
        While working with the sprinters and jumpers, Coach Mitch Barry has seen the hard working side of these athletes. So far, this season for him has been exciting with the competition between other track teams.
        Coach Eric Calkins has thought of this season as "fantastic" for many reasons. One being the repetition for the girls winning the Best of the West and the Western Conference meets. The Chadron High girls' team had not yet won the Western Conference title, until the 2019 season. Another aspect that has been rewarding for Calkins is the competitive style of each and every athlete.
        Not only has Coach Calkins been proud of the girls' team, but Coach Margaret Gregory has been working with a few of the successful athletes on the team. As a first year coach, she has said, "It has been one of the best parts about being a first year teacher." Coach Gregory has worked with her 800 meter to 3,200 meter runners and has found strength in every one of them. She said, "The boys and girls 4x8 team has really strong runners." Results of their races have been some of her favorite memories this year.
        Coach Clete Budler has been working on the other side of the track team. This year he started with many young throwers and was not expecting such an enjoyable outcome. The improvement of returning throwers has been an important part of the season. He has very affluent throwers this year and is hoping to carry it into next year.
        Both the boys' and girls' teams have outstanding athletes who have earned their winnings. All of the athletes have set their personal records very high, but strive to accomplish it every time. This year's season has been one to remember.
