Coach Megan Carlson has a big (31 girls) squad as she prepares them for the spring track and field season.
“This group enjoys having fun, working hard and encouraging each other,” said the coach, who calls them, “amazing girls.”
“With just two seniors, the Bravettes will be a strong mix of younger girls. It has been a solid year of activities for our girls and they have a lot of potential on the track,” Carlson said.
“Having the ability to fill events puts the girls at an advantage compared to other teams,” the coach said.
“Our challenges will be finding the right events for everyone, as well as adapting to the weather, which often is an obstacle. We know this group will be willing to do what is necessary for the team to succeed, and that is all we can ask for,” Carlson said.
The Bravettes had an indoor meet to prepare for on Monday, March 20, when the SICL meet was re-started at Grinnell College after a two-year pandemic absence.
“The meet was unscored, and we treat it as a practice, working to get all of the girls into an event and using that as a baseline to start the outdoor season,” she said.
“The indoor SICL was last held in 2019 , so it was a new experience for all the athletes competing,” the coach said.
Carlson expected the girls to be nervous, “but we understand this meet was a practice and we are going to grow from the experience,” she said.
