 Well, the Brainerd track and field team is having themselves a pretty good year, even finishing third in the most recent meet yesterday. Our Clayton Castle caught up with the Warriors today as the season winds down. It was sunny and gorgeous at Brainerd High School today as we caught up with the Warrior track and field team to talk about its season. The season has included improvement and personal best for the young team, including hurtlers Jeff Speaker and Zach Henke. Oh, it's been a great season so far. I've got a lot of personal bests. The team's doing really good and been pretty good at a true team. And the last meet, I think we placed third, doing pretty great. So far, it's going pretty good. A lot better improvements than last year. We've been running better times than me and my partner, Jeff. Now the team admits that its youth will sometimes show in final standings at meets, but the Warriors see the improvement in their team. The team has, I think we're a pretty strong team. I mean, we're not that up there at the meets as far as winning them, but we have some depth and we're really young and we have, I think, a lot of potential. The improvement and potential is showing as the season goes on, including in Henner's game. I think it's gone very well. My main event 200, I've been dropping time in that all year down to the fastest I've ever run it before just this last meet at conference. So that's been really good. While the Warriors may be experiencing some growing pains, they don't give up. They fight to the bone and it's all about the warrior way. Brainer probably the warrior way, I'd have to say. I mean, just like the dedication we put in, we're always like putting our 100% out there every day. In the end, it's all about the saying that head coach Rod Royer preaches to them every day. He just says, better your best. Just keep bettering your best. Better our best. Better your best. Better your best in the warrior way. The secret to a successful year for the Brainer track and field team. Reporting in Brainer, Clayton Castle, Lakeland News.
