Editor,

I want to say how disappointing it was to see that a debut track didn’t make it in the paper at all this spring season. Not only am I disappointed, but my other team members, my family and my friends are all disappointed as well. We had three home meets and not one picture about it. All season we have had small articles naming what times we got.

During Cascade Conference many kids placed first and did super well, but no group pictures or article that didn’t just state times. But when the middle school placed they got a whole page.

I’m just hoping next year there will be something more about track; we have three home meets and possibly will be hosting bi-district (the meet before state). There will be more than plenty of opportunity to write about track.

Maybe explore the inside atmosphere of team spirit and our motto of “Trackfam,” and learn that here at South Whidbey we don’t focus on our self, but the team members we have around us.

Thank you,

ALLIE VANBENSCHOTEN
