This track season I had the honor and privilege of working with nineteen gifted athletes. From the first day of tryouts they were told that once on the team they would be pushed far beyond what they believed to be their limits. Tryouts consisted of two solid hours of track drills, which were designed to see what kind of shape the athlete was in. To be a member of the track team one had to be hard working, dedicated, motivated, and have self-confidence. There is no glory in Track and Field, no pep rallies, no home crowd to cheer you on. Track and Field is solely about individual talent and constantly striving to be better than the previous day. Throughout the season these athletes were tested both mentally and physically. They were challenged and asked to perform far beyond what they believed they could handle. But time and time again they rose to the occasion and proved how much they wanted to be a part of the team. For most of the athletes on track, this season was one that established in their mind that they could stick with and preserver through any obstacle and that giving up was not an option. – Mr. Wong
