Record breaking year for track’s varsity boys relay team

This year’s varsity boys 4×100 meter relay team has been unstoppable breaking numerous records that have not been broken in years.

The team has been working together for two years now and consists of Myles Speegle, Cameron Edwards, Aaron Jones and Matt Speegle.

Coach Dooney Jones, both the head coach of the track and field team and the varsity boys 4×100 A team, is proud of the team and hopes for great things for the boys.

“I hope they find their passion for success. To learn and understand what it takes every day to climb to the top and also what it takes to stay there. We move as ‘one,’” stated Jones.

The success of this season so far, according to Jones, originally started in 2011 when the seed was planted and everyone was working hard to help it grow, with the varsity boys team especially overcoming trials and meeting expectations.

Breaking the 2009 team record of 42.2 seconds, this year the relay team has clocked 41.65 seconds, currently second-best in the entire state.

The team is hoping to make it to the State Meet Championships this year and are working hard to meet this goal.

“Considering this is my last year at CVHS I want to make it something to remember. I train hard every day to make sure that I am always at the top of my game. I know we can make it to the championships. It just takes hard work and determination,” said Matt Speegle.
