There was a group of young ladies who came to me during the basketball season and expressed interest in the track team. So I told them to get me some other signatures of students interested, and they came back with a pretty substantial list. I thought there was a legitimate interest there and that we should offer it to the kids. I took it to the administration and it kind of evolved from that.

By next year I hope to at least be sanctioned as one team, probably the girls team because that is where the most interest right now is coming from. The greatest scenario would be to have both teams sanctioned but I do not want to be overly optimistic. We are going to take this in small steps and do it the right way.
