The 2016 track season started off with a bang, as 18 Harriers made their way to Gainesville for the last running of the Jimmy Carnes Invitational.  Not only did we come back with 18 PRs, two of our girls posted the two fastest indoor miles by any middle schooler in the country!  Congrats, everyone!

Now we head back to the lab to get ready for the outdoor season.  Look for us to be even stronger in March!
