On Monday, February 28, Kirkwood track and field practice began. Students of all grades came out to do trials and workouts at the first week of practice. Patrick Lee, senior captain, said he looks forward to spending time with the team and competing. “My training, along with my teammates, during the off season has been very successful. I look forward to such high level competition this season,” Lee said. Mariah Wilkes, sophomore, had similar feelings. She said that she looks forward to interacting with new teammates and hopefully breaking some personal records this year. “The first week of track was eventful. I talked to people I don’t normally talk to and I had fun doing the workouts,” Mariah said. With the red and white meet coming up March 16, the team has jumped right in.
