She is the school record holder in the weight throw. She still has one season (this spring) to go until we have to say goodbye. The way I think she is going to say it is by immortalizing herself in the Huntington record books.”

Mark Jackson is pleased with how the winter season went for the Huntington girls’ track and field team.
“The program has made some amazing strides this year,” the head coach said. “They went from living in the shadows of the boys and have made a name for themselves. For the last few years, this has been my goal to get the girls to that level and this is the first bunch to really grasp hold of that dream. They are young and hungry for gold. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. They want more than that. They want records. The girls’ track team is so tightknit that I couldn’t separate them even if I tried. This team is making amazing strides and they won’t stop until they are number one.”
