2017 Recap: “The Otto Bacher is one of our favorites highlights of the year. Many great opportunities were given and athletes always seem to follow through on that night. No matter the win or loss, our kids always step up and perform their best. It is a nice segway into conference and post season races. Laehn and Ollhoff continued to set records.”
2018 Outlook: “The senior group of athletes have seen a lot of success, has had many years of experience, and are true leaders of the team. We are looking forward to seeing cooperation, communication and leaders on the team. We will continue to see success this year in the jumps, sprints and shot/discus. We are always looking ahead and we see a team that has potential to work hard and is willing to put in the work to better themselves and encourage others to do the same. We will continue to take individual success to motivate others to perform to the best of their ability is our goal for the season.”
A Final Word From The Coach: “We have a great group of veterans and many young athletes. It will be extremely important to have our veterans take the young participants under their wing and aide in developing solid and competitive performances. Please support us this season at the Otto Bacher.”
