Mahomet Seymour High School

Good evening, track and field fans. I will apologize now for any errors. Typing on the bus ride home. Tonight’s team word, selected by the athletes and presented by Cora Ummel, was “Synergy” — the interaction and cooperation of individuals to create a greater combined effect. It perfectly described what the coaches hoped to see from the team tonight. From cheering on teammates in every event to celebrating each other’s successes and lifting one another through challenges, the Bulldogs truly competed as one team. After arriving home after 11 pm, these athletes are ready for a day of rest from practice so we can refuel and reenergize in preparation for our final phase- state championship week. We will head to Charleston next Friday and Saturday to take a few laps and blast through some runways in hopes of bringing home some hardware. \\ As a team, we placed third behind two very good teams, Eureka and Morton. We also placed ahead of 13 strong teams. We knew who our competition was going into the meet, and we knew the team trophy would be a tough one to achieve, but the girls still competed hard.
