The Track Team and coaches experienced a successful season and state championship, concludinng their season recently at the State Championships held at the University of North Florida where ILS witnessed three track athletes compete in individual events.

Junior Emmanuel Roca ran in the 800M and the 1600M, finishing top 10 in both. He placed 8th in the 1600M, and 10th for the 800M.

 

Sophomore Candy Cruz finished 14th in the discus throw.

 

Senior Mary Scheuerle finished 15th in the 400M.

 

Overall, it was great season for the Track program with a Boys’ district Championship and Girls’ runner-up, multiple regional qualifiers, along with top 10 and top 15 finishes at the state championships. It was a testament to all the hard work the athletes and coaches put in to their entire season.

 

Thank you seniors, coaches ,and athletes for a great Track season.

 

They look to continue to build off of this season for next year.

 

GOO ROYALS!
