On the track, runners will have the opportunity to compete in longer races. Many of the women have been training since November, and even though our meet was canceled last weekend, everyone is enthusiastic about this upcoming meet. The women seem confident about this season after working so hard throughout the winter season. Some of the running events change in distance because the 600m and 55m dash are no longer run. However, the 100m dash and the 400m hurdles are new running events that our sprinters and hurdlers have been preparing for.
Spring presents a whole new world for our throwers.
They are no longer confined solely to the shot put and the 20lb. weight. Though the weight is not one of the spring field events, the hammer, discus, and javelin are all welcome additions to the throwing realm. Shannon Elf '03 has been training since the winter season solely for the javelin. The women's track team has been out in San Diego training hard over spring break to prepare for their rigorous season. Last season the women finished up 38-11 for the season.
