It was a bitter sweet end to the 23/24 track season at IHSA State meet in Charleston yesterday. Even though no one made it out of prelims these girls have had a heck of a season and should be proud of themselves. It was amazing they made it and got to experience State. For those that are back next year I hope it keeps them wanting more and to return to Charleston next year. To the seniors, I wish you all the best as you keep moving towards your new goals!
