Girls Indoor Track Announces 2014 Captains

by Caroline McKay

After a spectacular season doubling as FCIAC and State champions, and with several girls qualifying for Nationals, the Girls Indoor Track team has announced next year’s four captains: juniors Anna Sulger, Maddie Schneider, Elizabeth Fucigna, and Paula Tabaschek. Sulger and Schneider have been on the 4x200 relay team both years when the group won the New England title and competed at Nationals.

“This season went the best it possibly could in many ways. We had experienced seniors leading the way and everyone did what they needed to do in their respective events,” Sulger said. “Even though we will lose key members of our team next year, we are looking forward to keeping the tradition going.”

Schneider displayed similar feelings of appreciation for this past season and excitement for the next.
“Of my five seasons of track this year’s indoor team was the most dedicated group of girls I've seen…every girl completed and strained [herself] in each workout and the results of the effort were definitely seen in our achievements at our championship meets and with the number of qualifiers for these meets,” Schneider said. “We are going to be having a bit of rebuilding next year with so many accomplished seniors graduating, but if we can keep the energy for next year I’m sure we’ll see great results again.”

Congratulations on such a successful season, and on behalf of Neirad, good luck with the next!
