The West Central Area track and field teams are returning several letter winners from a successful team last spring which includes captains Ben Nyreen (state qualifier), Alexa Blume, Taylor Bennett, Sydney Ulrich, Maci Robinson, Terina Blasyk and Kiera Gehrke.  The 2023 Knights showed improvement throughout the season with numerous personal records set and a couple of school records being flirted with.  “They were a hard working group that pushed each other in practice from day one,” said Head Coach Dave Schleicher, now in his third season.
