Who will be the stars this upcoming season for Boys or Girls track in the mountains.

There will be a few girls from Rockcastle County that will be really good. The team has challenged for a top 3 spot at state the last few years and Coach Brummett has this team going strong. One of their better long distance runners is in the 4th or 5th grade, Makayla (sp?) Hunter. They also have some other really good girls in other distances and in the field events but my mind is drawing a blank rigt now. Losing Heather Hammond to graduation will hurt too. She's running track full-time for Western Kentucky University.

Sally Roberts, Laura Perkins, Amber Perkins, and Esther Fleming are great athletes. Sally and Laura placed in last years state track meet. Both of these girls, along with Amber, and Esther all excel on the basketball court. And with the exception of Amber, all are playing softball, but their softball coach wants them to run track as well. Look for these girls to do well in individual meets, and they will make one heck of a relay team. Hopefully, there will not be too much conflict between the two schedules. Perhaps the KHSAA should look at setting district, regional, and state schedules that will allow all of our athletes to participate in every sport they wish. It would be a shame if these girls have to make a decision as to which tournament to attend!
