Todd Ignatz and Brent Davidson, the track coaches, prepare the young ladies and men to compete and work hard for a big chance of winning.
UME Runs to the Finish Line
This year Kainan Joubert, competing in Discus, and Jon Hobson and Janine Narcisse, running the 100 and 200 meter sprints, qualified for state for high school. Rebekah Kornelson and Lilly Fowler qualified for junior high. The state competition was this Saturday, February 25.

Jon Hobson explains the easy, yet very crucial, way he prepares for a big win. He begins by “putting headphones in to calm [his] mind.” He also mentions, “I stretch on my own, then run a lap around the football field to warm up.” He tells The Talon that a very important aspect to prepare for a win is to stay hydrated.
