A message from Miss Hendrick:
Newell Middle School Track and Field Team ended with a bang! The student-athletes finished the school year and track season strong. The student-athletes should be so proud of themselves. Throughout the season, students continued to PR and preserve. Every athlete beat their records from last year. We had our own awards banquet where all the students were acknowledged for their efforts and accomplishments. As a team, students participated in the "Paper Plate Awards". Each student and coach got another teammate's name to create an award for that person specialized to their strength and gifts that elevated the team. This activity demonstrated the unity and kindness of the team we had this year. The LMC Championship proved their grit and tenacity even with a few kids gone. The Women's Team gaining the title of LMC Conference Runner-Up along with decorating themselves with multiple individual and relay awards.
Coach Tommy comments,
"Our team is small but we came together like a family! We were the under dogs all season and we showed the other teams what we are made of when it counted at the LMC!"
Coach H comments,
"I can confidently state that each member of our team gained confidence and skill this season. The girls showed up at bosses, the boys consistently demonstrated patience and helpfulness. Together they made a goofy, fun-loving, and coachable team."
