The season of running track and field is here. Track is a sport that mainly involves running. Track does have other parts called field. The field part of track and field mainly involves jumping and throwing events. In cases of throwing events, Marshira Nelson, a Paraprofessional Support Staff at Pahrump Valley High School who is also a Pole Vault coach, states, “I’m ready to see what new heights we can clear.” Nelson also remarked about track and field itself “As for track and field, we have an amazing number of athletes so far, but we hope to see more.” 

Nelson feels that the new track and field season is going to be super promising because “the athletes are going to be setting new personal records.” This season is going to be a challenge for these new athletes though. The new athletes are going to be “learning new techniques, and enjoying competitions with each other and other schools,” according to Nelson. Nelson declared, “This season is going to be full of challenges, growth, and moments as we plan on winning Regionals this year.” 

This season has a lot of potential for this year’s athletes. The athletes will be going through hard conditioning to learn new skills. They will also be going against other promising athletes from other schools. Since this season has now begun, we are excited to see what amazing things these athletes will do this year. Make sure to check them out at their next home meet on Wednesday, March 12.
