Track meets seem super long and boring but it really depends on the team. The Mercy team makes the meets very fun. Joking around all day and having fun.
The track team has four coaches. Each coach has their special place but all the coaches work together. Two of the coaches are teachers at mercy. Mr. Scott Stara and Ms. Cathy Mousel.
Each girl is in two or more events. Madeline Reisberg did the long jump, 4x1, & open 200. She is a very athletic girl who tries her best in every event.
Katie Geist and Rhys Slavik participate in the discus event. Both girls threw between 60-90 feet. The girls work hard to get the strength to throw the disc far enough to receive a high length.
The crowd is always in the stands cheering on the athletes. Pity clap or a motivating clap the crowd always helps the athletes go all into it.
Track meets last between 7-12 hours depending on the kind of meet. The girls are definitely tired after a full day of track. After every meet Coach Austin gives the girls chocolate milk. Chocolate milk helps the nutrients restore in your body.
