Track and field may seem like a non-contact sport where everyone has separate goals, but at the end of the day, everyone wants to be the best. And to be the best, each person has to concentrate, and execute proper technique throughout their event. It takes discipline to be able to compete without getting competition.

The Tempe Prep track team has begun their season and have been working endlessly on their techniques for the season. With the many different techniques needed for track and field, the team needs a strong coaching staff. Fortunately, there haven’t been any disappointments in that department for the team. Junior Louis Ternyik comments on the coaches saying, “They really are what’s pushing us to be the best and want us to succeed.” The inspirational talks from Doc also help the team compete at a high level.

The team was able to compete recently at a scrimmage where they got a feel for what’s to come. It was a great experience for the athletes to go out and have fun, but also set a starting point for the season. Look for the team to push their limits and put up better results as the season gets into its full stride.
