Trackin’ the time

By Nadia Rivas

The winter season has officially come to an end. But with that comes track season! With many new faces and runners, the track team this year is bigger than ever. They’ve had two meets already—Feb 29 at Santa Teresa and March 7 at Westmont—which both went so well that they recently also hosted K-bell which Westmont hosts every year. K-bell brings in many people from different schools to run all sorts of events. This year Westmont did exceptionally well! With many new records set, the season so far is looking good. The runners and coaches this year are also quite excited.
