Allen Aase starts year number thirteen as head coach of the Hillcrest track and field teams.  He will be assisted by Jenny Mathieson, Jessica Knutson and Patti Zwiers.

Returning letter winners include Noah Fischer (JR, sprints), Caden Fischer (FR, sprints), Micah Foss (SO, middle distance), Kenneth Murage (SO, distance) and Thomas Zwiers (JR, middle distance) on the boys side, and senior hurdler Elise Wutka and thrower Eldad Eymife on the girls side.

“Our numbers are up, especially with the girls,” stated Coach Aase.  “We have lots of potential. We will be competing in more field events this year.  It’s great to have more coaches helping this year.”

Coach Aase says Perham will once again be the favorite in Section 6A.
