The Woodlawn Girls Indoor Track Team won the State Championship on Wednesday, Feb. 19, at the Prince George’s Sports & Learning Complex. The team swept all three titles this season, County, Regional, and State Champions. Our sports team spoke with Coach Montgomery about the season and the team. What’s your focus as a coach? We focus on individual strengths and providing opportunities for per- sonal growth and possibly compet- ing at the college level, each kid ex- celling in their own abilities in their own way. What does the training include? The individual development is re- flected in the team’s rigorous train - ing regimen which includes drills, long and short sprints, weightlift- ing, and long-distance running. Our training helps our athletes hone
their unique skills and build endur- ance. Are there limitations to indoor track? Air quality can be a concern, and in- clement weather can hinder training efforts. Despite these challenges, the track team remains committed to giving their all both in practice and during competitions. What are the expectations for the track teams? The expectations for our program are clear. First and foremost, ath-
to coaching had led to a strong sense of camaraderie among the team, as athletes work together to achieve their goals and support one another in their efforts. The success of the Woodlawn Track and Field program is a group ef- fort. Without Coach Young, Coach Sneed, Ms. Shucavage and Coach Collins, this program would not be where we are today. Also, Thank you to Mr. Foxwell and Principal Jernigan for their unwavering sup- port.
