Geared to switch their mindsets to the spring, the track team has been training hard for the new season. Due to the fact that there is not an outdoor track field on campus, the team practices at Valley Forge, Radnor High School, and at Eastern. Races for this season range from 100 meters to 5 thousand meters. Races are both individual and in relays of four.
Currently, the major goal for the team is to perform well at Penn Relays, according to Kristin Zielinski, junior.
“It’s a lot of individual bests that we want to reach,” Zielinski said. “Also, I think we’ll do pretty good as a team.”
The Penn Relay’s is one of biggest relay meets in the country. It is held annually at Franklin Field, University of Penna. During the season, the team competes in Invitationals sponsored by different Colleges.
“Last year, we were small in number and we walked away with three medals in the champs,” Jason Bull, senior, said. “This year we have more people and more talent. I think we’ll do even better.”
Bull’s personal goal is to break the one hundred-meter record of 4:01.6.
Amanda Campbell, junior, strives to break Cabrini’s record in the one hundred-meter race. “I am not that far from it,” Campbell said.
Ryan Jones, senior, hopes that his team places in the top three teams at Championships.
The Penn Relay’s is one of biggest relay meets in the country.
Aside from the glory of the medals, the members of the team run for fun. “It’s very relaxing and a good way to keep in shape,” Ricky Romyn, senior, said.
