Team Strengths: "(We have an) experienced distance team who participated in the state cross country meet, (and a) returning state high jumper (9th place) Carter Zezulka," Esko coach Gary Beaudot said. "Hopefully (we have) enough depth to put together a relay or two. We have great numbers (42) in grades 9-12!"
Biggest Challenge: "We are very inexperienced at the state level," Beaudot said. "Trying to get new athletes to enjoy track will take some time. (I'm) hoping the weather starts to cooperate!"
