(Harlan) The Harlan Cyclones will look to put their best foot forward when they compete on Thursday at the Hawkeye Ten Conference Track Meet.
Harlan boys coach Sam Brummer say they want to go out and compete. “Obviously this meet has been circled on the calendar for a while.” Brummer says, “We really just want to go out and compete and stack up against other teams in our conference and see how the chips fall. We feel good about the things we are taking up there. The kids just have to show what we’ve seen in practice and at our other meets now and hit it.”
The Cyclones should be much closer to full strength than they have been in recent outings. “We have few nicks and knacks here and there as I’m sure most teams do. We’ve been taking partial squads to our last two meets knowing full well our team standings weren’t going to be very high, but at this stage in the game we are just looking to stay healthy and critique things. We had some really good practices where we felt our kids would really benefit from having a practice versus going to a meet.”
Coach Brummer comments on his team’s strongest events. “Probably strongest in the sprints. Anything that has a 100, 200, and 400 we are feeling pretty good with. There’s a lot of good sprinters.”
