(Elk Horn) Five girls are out for track at Exira-EHK. The Spartan roster will be made up of mostly mid-distance runners.
Head coach Cory Bartz says they’ll do a lot of mixing and matching with 200’s, 400’s, and 800’s while also trying to fill a couple of field events. Macy Emgarten is the only senior on the team. “We are going to try and get her in the 200 and open 400 maybe or throw a relay together. If we can get Macy’s time down in the 200 another second or so that could put her in the hunt to qualify for state.”
Rounding out the group are Ella Petersen, Gemini Goodwin, Gracie Bartz, and Ruby Vanderwal. They’ll compete for the first time on Thursday, March 31st at Audubon. “Just go out and establish a time for ourselves to improve on.”
Bartz says they’ve been working on form and speed so far in practice and things have gone great.
