Not much going on right now with high school track so I did a little memory trip for myself.
While looking at the adult Empire track lists I noticed it has a fair number of athletes that I competed with on the SRJC team I was on or against in High school and they were on the SRJC team just before or after me.
I’m prejudiced but I think it was one of the best era’s of track.
You will also notice a few names that are now big into coaching in the area.
