Boys’ track and field a couple laps in

With a few meets already under its belt, the Glencoe-Silver Lake boys’ track and field team is beginning to hit its stride on the sprint that is the spring sports season.
“The team is looking good so far,” coach Josh Metcalf said. “The weather has improved greatly since the first two weeks of the season.”
The Panthers return five section finalists from last season’s squad, including Oscar Pena, Zach Mohr, Keaton Goettl, Will Higgins and Wyatt Konen.
Higgins and Konen, who qualified for section finals in hurdles and pole vault, respectively, have already claimed multiple event wins over the first couple weeks of the season.
Though he was not among the section finalists last spring in Mankato, the team also boasts distance runner Connor Hallaway.
Hallaway qualified for the state cross-country meet in Northfield last November and also has multiple meet wins in the 3200-meter run to his name so far this season.
Metcalf said that his team’s strength this season “is the number of participants we have out for track.”
The squad returns a number of talented competitors in both short and long distances, as well as in the field events.
“We have several new athletes out this year and we are excited to see how they progress throughout the season,” Metcalf said. “We hope to stay healthy and perform our best in May and June.”
As for the team as a whole, Metcalf said “our goals remain the same as always. We want our athletes to continue to improve throughout the season and perform their best at conference and postseason meets.”
