Twenty members of the Friends Academy Girls and Boys Varsity Track represented Friends Academy in the Conference VI Championship this week at St. Anthony's High School. Head Varsity Track Coach Dave Frazer shared that "while our teams were small in size they were still mighty in stature." Overall, the Girls team finished in 2nd place with 86 points and the Boys team finished in 5th place with 39 points.
Frazer also highlighted that "[although] we did have many Conference Champions and All Conference performers, for a team to be successful it needs all members to be focused and ready when called upon. Our 'big' scorers responded to the bell, but their focus and leadership helped the rest of the team also be ready to race."
Friends Academy finished the meet with three All-Conference, one 2nd All-Conference Champ, four Conference Champs, one National Qualifying Time, and 12 PR's.
- All Conference Champ: Logan Alvarez (55m), Olivia Carden (55m), Ben Martin (1600m, 1000m)
