What I find most exciting from day one is that I spent as much time after the running talking to kids 1-1 about what they can do to get better. Most of the conversations were athlete led! It’s a weird year, but the kids haven’t changed - they want to compete, improve ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Ella’s favorite memories include PRing at state and qualifying for finals during her sophomore year. Ella plans on attending @MurrayStateXCTF and continuing her athletic career for the Racers! Best of luck Ella, can’t wait to see you compete at the next level!

[FCHS Track & Field @track_fchs]

@ESiebenberger is our first senior to recognize. Ella was a fierce competitor at the pole vault pit and had some wheels when we could convince her to run. She had hopes of battling for a school record and state podium this year.

Jade’s favorite memory was tough to sum up: “I don’t think I can quite pin point one moment... Everyday was constant love and happiness from everyone involved in the program. I think that’s why I enjoyed it so much and was so heartbroken when it was taken away from me.”
