State Wrestling Champ Junior Ashton Honnold and another wrestler Junior Keyin Steeve are both out for track and will compete in the sprints. Welsch wants to target the 4×800 and Distance Medley relays and would really like to put together a 4×200 team. Warner leads the field events with Cassius Burnside in the long jump and Honnold will do some throwing when he is not competing in off-season wrestling programs.
