Lancer Track Team Alive and Well!
May 3, 2010
It has been twenty-four (24) years since Loyalsock had a track team. With a solid nucleus of students interested in pursuing a spring sport other than tennis, baseball or softball, record numbers of students have demonstrated interest in track and field. At the beginning of the season, sixty (60) students signed up, and on any given night, 30-50 students are practicing on our track in preparation for the events that the school has been able to schedule. Although a late addition to the conference, Loyalsock was still was able to secure several meets this spring. What’s more, our young men and women have been doing extremely well, with each team winning a match recently (which is quite a feat since not being is existence for twenty-four years). Also, several of our young athletes are competing at a very high level, and our boys and girls placed as a team in the top half of the Bloomsburg Invitational this past weekend. Congrats to our young student athletes who have chosen to participate in track and field. With such a swing in interest, we look forward to what the future holds for track and field at Loyalsock!
