The
Windham Middle School indoor track season takes place from mid-February to
March. Coach Phil Jackson along with help from Jarrod Fournier, head girls’
coach and Ben Stults, the assistant coach for both teams, work with the 105
member team.
“So
far the boys are two and seven and the girls are two and seven as well. Points
wise, the junior (Grade 6 division) has scored a lot of points and really
helped the team out point wise. We've done very well in the middle distance
races like the 440. We've had some good performances in the mile as well. This
year, we have double the hurdlers that we have had in years past,” said
Jackson.
Jackson
had this to say about the size of his team. “This is the largest team we have
had in a few years. We have 105 kids this year and last year's team had about
70 kids. I think the reason we have such large numbers this year is many of
these kids have come up through the summer track program and are familiar with
track and have found events that they really like. I think a lot of kids who
have done track have talked to other kids to get them interested in joining. Track
is different in that while it is a team sport, it is also very individual in
that there are a variety of events for kids to compete in. It is our goal to
provide a program that instructs in fundamentals and develops interest in the
sport for years to come for these kids.”
The
meets are held at the Portland Expo on Saturdays in the late morning/early
afternoon. The team has one more regular season meet this Saturday and the end
of the season championship after that.
