Heading off to Sectionals

Excitement rushes through her body; her knees tremble.

“Oh my gosh,” freshman Coleen Grone said. “Before the race I was literally shaking on the line. I knew this was the most important race.”

Grone, along with many other members of the varsity track team, competed in districts last Saturday at Zumwalt South. Eleven teams participated.
Looking to her left and right, she sees four girls. She looks for a way to pull ahead.

Top four finishes in each event qualified for sectionals. FHN students competing in 16 different events will travel to Camdenton High School this upcoming weekend for sectionals, where they will fight for a chance at State.
As the last 800 approaches, the pack begins to break apart. She pushes herself, securing a top four finish. After five minutes and 31 seconds, she crosses the line. Fourth place.
