Both Coach Motykowski and the captains agree that strong depth comes from the freshmen. So far, the team has performed well at meets. They placed 3rd at the Kearney Invitational, and 3rd at the Dick Jones Central Invitational. Junior middle distance runner Ali Jones recently broke the 400 meter dash Marian school record at the Central Invitational. The 21 year old record was shattered with the new time of 59.81 sec.
Marian athletes hold three of the fastest times in the state, in individual and relay events.
Freshman distance runner Laura Spanheimer holds the stateUs fastest times in the two mile and 800 meter events. Marian also holds the fastest time in the state for the 3200 meter relay of Amy Sibbernson, Laura Spanheimer, Ali Jones, and Anna Jones. High goals are expected from this year's team. Both coaches and athletes have expectations toward the state meet. We will qualify for state, and do well at districts.
