Knoxville is hosting a high school track meet Saturday (3/30) with several area teams taking part. This will be the first meet of the season for the Oskaloosa High girls. Indians Coach Betsy Luck talks about her team.
“Five seniors: Lauren Coon, Emma Kelderman, Madison Muir, Maliyah Martin and Savannah Wiltse are all back, a good part of the team and great leaders across the board. And then we have quite a few freshmen out as well, that made our team a lot bigger from 17 last year to 26 this year. All the girls that qualified for state last year are back: our distance medley, all those four girls are back, and Emma Kelderman in the high jump and the 400 meter hurdles and Sophia Dykstra back in the discus. So all those girls are back and looking strong already.”
Albia, Newton, Pella and Pella Christian are also competing at Saturday’s track meet in Knoxville. That starts at 11am.
