Head Track & Field coach Jennifer Pruskowski is thrilled at the victory and sees it as a testament to the girls’ hard work, perseverance, and team spirit. “It was a very close championship meet this season,” she says. “The girls learned the importance of teamwork, as the close score showed that every member, every event, every point matters, as it came down to one point out of hundreds to decide the winner. Our girls were willing to work harder, push their limits, and leave everything on the track. In this meet, talent, strategy, and teamwork won us the championship!”
