Track coach Mr. Grant Beatty chose the 4×400 track team for Student-Athletes of the Week.
The team consists of Adia Bengochea, Hailey Fernandez, Hailey Hinkle, and Shelby Garrison.
Beatty stated he’s very proud of the girls.
“They ran together for the first time this season and produced the top 4×400 tier in the entire 3A division,” said Beatty.
Hailey Hinkle has been running the 4×400 since her freshman year with Shelby Garrison. Hinkle and Garrison both stated it’s a very hard race to run, but it’s the most rewarding.
“It takes a lot of hard dedication and practice. We are planning on taking state again for the second time this year,” said Hinkle.
Garrison said being a part of track has taught her self-discipline and persistence.
“I have learned how to push myself in times when it is really hard to,” said Garrison. “I love running with my team. They make the race so much more fun because we all want to win.”
