For the girls’ indoor track team it has been a significant season, one of their biggest accomplishments being that they were GBL champions for a third year. Many members on the team are continuing their dedication for track by joining or returning to the outdoor track team this spring. The team has bonded very closely with each other and hope to continue their friendship off the track.
Many of the team members are excited about their upcoming years of track together and further developing a strong team bond. Freshman Birukti Tsige “believe[s] that [she has] accomplished a lot this season and did it with great friends.” Tsige found that this year she’s been pushed to work harder and hopes to keep improving. Tsige “want[s] to improve on [her] mental state when [she is] running.” She continued, “People think that the most important aspect in track is just the ability to run.” However, “As a long distance runner, you have to train yourself to be focused and to sustain energy when you’re running.” Birukti explained.
Sophomore Qian Ren found the season to have ended successfully was proud that they are still undefeated GBL champions. “The season ended with no regrets but higher set goals. It was an amazing journey to experience with amazing coaches and teammates,” stated Ren. She “would hope to improve on [her] time and speed, the two most important components [for track].”
Congratulations to the girls indoor track team for another year as GBL champions.
