Girls
winter track is starting up again and has previously been named the
champion or runner-up in the CIAC Class L State competition in each
of the past 10 years. Also, Darien has won the FCIAC Eastern
Championship 10 years in a row. “Last year our team did really
well! We had a relay team make it really far and all of the girls who
were in the relay are back this year. We even had a few girls go to
nationals last year, which was awesome,” Junior Lindsey Holek said,
who is running the 600m, 200m and some relays this coming season.
The
new captains this winter track season are Brittany Henry, Catherine
Lacy and Dillon Schoen. However, this season is going to be missing
some members of its team due to last year’s graduation, including
Grace Loh, Kate Farren, Ellen Bauer and Sarah Colon. “We have a
really strong team this year and I think we are also going to have a
lot of good new runners this year. Luckily we didn’t lose too many
runners from last year so I think we will have a lot of success this
year too,” Holek said.
She
is hoping to make it to “FCIACs and states in the 600m”. Even
though she has previously made it to FCIACs for cross-country in the
fall, she thinks it “would be really cool to go to states for
track”. “There are a lot of key runners on other teams from
different schools [that will] push us this season,” Holek said.
Good luck to the Girls Winter Track team this season!
