The men’s track team is scheduled to attend Sectionals at the Carmel Stadium on May 20 from 5 to 7 p.m.
Junior Chris Walden said, “Team wise, Zionsville could be dangerous, but to be honest, Carmel should be able to pull off the win.”
Walden said the team’s strength is in distance running. He said, “The team’s strong point has always been its distance squad, but this year we could potentially be scoring points across all the events. We have solid athletes in the sprints and field events this year.”
Team captains include Chris Walden, Tom Ohlman, Dan Porter, Max Yeary, Langston Newton, Blair Trapkus, Jimmy White and Devin Brinson. Coach Will Ellery said via e-mail that the eight captains will lead the team at Sectionals.
Walden has also set his own personal goals. He said, “In the early rounds of the tournament, the first goal is to qualify. If the weather is good, it would be nice to get a new personal best.” By Faraz Majid <[email protected]>
