(Atlantic) Atlantic Head Boy’s Track Coach Abby Becker got a look at her 2025 track squad at the IATC Indoor meet in Ames on Thursday. The Trojans were entered in a handful of events, Xavier Darrow in the Shot Put, Grant Petty in the 400 meters, and three relays. The Distance Medley, 4×100, and 4×400 Meter Relays.
Coach Becker says that as the team wraps up the third week of practice, it is young with a large group of freshmen making up nearly half of the 39-man roster. However, she is pleased with what she has seen from them and the rest of the squad.
Coach Becker says the results from the indoor meet on Thursday varied. Some were on target from one year ago, others were ahead, while some performances were a little behind. Becker reminds her team that it is not how you start but how you finish.
The 2025 Atlantic boys’ track roster includes eight seniors, seven juniors, six sophomores, and 18 first-year students.
The Trojans’ next indoor meet is Saturday, March 22, at Northwest Missouri State University.
