As the school year winds down, so does our incredible track and field season! With months of training, dedication, and team spirit, our athletes have shown remarkable growth, perseverance, and pride representing Academics West on the track.

Yesterday was the final track meet of the season, hosted by the Metro League and bringing together student-athletes from across the city for one last competition. The energy was high, the competition was fierce, and our team gave it their all. One standout event was the 100-meter dash, where our athletes demonstrated both speed and focus under pressure. The excitement at the starting line was matched by the cheers from teammates, staff, and supporters as they sprinted toward the finish.

We’re especially proud of our leadership this season, with co-captain Alexander and captain William setting the tone both on and off the track. Their commitment to the team, encouragement of our student athletes, and sportsmanship have been exemplary. Alexander’s focus and drive have consistently pushed our runners to improve, while William’s steady leadership and ability to rally the team have made a lasting impact.

Throughout the season, our team bonded through after-school practices, challenging workouts, and shared victories both big and small. From personal records to powerful team moments, our track program has given our students an outlet for growth, discipline, and camaraderie. Special thanks to Coach Kiera and Coach Becker for their leadership and dedication throughout the season!

As we reflect on a memorable season, we want to thank all our student-athletes, coaches, and supporters for their dedication and enthusiasm. The finish line for this season may be behind us, but the lessons and friendships built along the way will continue to carry our team forward.

Congratulations to all on a fantastic season! 🏃‍♂️👏
