Once again the track season is approaching, but practice is just beginning with winter conditioning. This is the first year that there has been conditioning in the winter, and it started on Jan. 11. Track conditioning is useful to help get players ready for the season as soon as possible. 

“I am hoping by getting a lot of the mechanics worked out, and events picked early, we can grow further in the year,” Mrs. Spencer, 6th grade teacher and track coach, said. 

Even though the track season does not start until the end of March, it is a good idea to get players ready for the season early. Players practice sprints on ramps in the halls, core workouts in the gym, starts for races in the halls, and dynamic stretches in the halls outside the hallway.

“My least favorite thing about winter conditioning is doing core after running more than a mile and my favorite thing is probably sprinting in the school,” Gregory Kline, 8th grade student and track and field player, said. 

If the weather is warm enough and it is not raining, snowing, or hailing then the team will practice outside on the track.
