“We are giving people the chance to step up and try new events,” says Gauvin. “We lost 10 seniors from last year and they were all good point scorers for the team and we need to improve our numbers in those areas.”

Girls Track hopes to compete for the championship at Western Mass again and place better than last year into work like they did last year, we should have a lot of success. The most important thing is to see everyone improve and become better athletes.”
